Flanked by dozens of police in riot gear and followed by city buses for potential arrests, the protesters carried signs saying ``No War'' to urge the Bush administration to avoid military conflict. ``We are marching for an alternative to the war that Bush is proposing,'' said Piper Joseph, 26, an environmental consultant. Some protesters carried Palestinian flags while others had red and black flags representing anarchy. Some had gas masks and construction helmets for protection. A police helicopter circled overhead. Despite the protests, opinion polls show widespread support for President Bush. A new Washington Post poll of 1,215 Americans showed that nine out of 10 people believe he was doing a good job. A similar number said they favored a military response to the attacks and said that the United States needed to capture Osama bin Laden, the U.S.' prime suspect in the attacks. Many anti-globalization activists protesting on Saturday had originally planned to demonstrate against the Bush administration and the annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. But lenders postponed their meetings after the attacks that flattened the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon, so protesters said they would target Bush's war on terrorism and advocate peace instead. The demonstrations were peaceful compared to previous protests against IMF and World Bank meetings, although police did use pepper spray on at least one occasion. Unfortunately, Assistant Police Chief Terrance Gainer was hit with the spray and was taken to a hospital to have his eyes flushed out. ``He was indeed pepper-sprayed, we probably pepper-sprayed him ourselves,'' Assistant Police Chief Michael Fitzgerald told Reuters. Gainer soon returned to the scene. ------------------------ Yahoo!
