San Jose Mercury News: Columbia University war protest evokes anti-Vietnam activism
Students at Columbia University – once a hotbed of anti-Vietnam protests – walked out of classes Thursday to raise their voices against the war in Iraq.
They joined students across the country who planned demonstrations against President Bush just hours after he exhorted NATO nations to send more troops to Afghanistan.
“What do we want?” yelled a Columbia student into a microphone in front of Columbia’s Low Library.
“Stop the war!” responded a few hundred protesters.
“When do we want it?” yelled back the woman at the mike.
“Now!” was the answer.
