This was the first large rally in DC following the outbreak of the Iraq war. It was notably smaller than the earlier rallies (under 100,000), but had the distinction of growing in size as the march progressed. The route was somewhat different too, taking protesters through the business district to the north of the White House (in the vicinity of major media outlets, Haliburton, etc.). Double barricades were also present in front of the White House. Something I had not seen previously, nor afterward.
