Every Friday since August 2002, through cold, rain, wind and heat antiwar demonstrators have been gathering at the corner of 14th and Peachtree between noon and 1 p.m. to protest the Iraq war. At this afternoon's gathering protesters ranged in age from 6 months to 90 years. They waved placards, flashed peace signs at passing cars and cheered when cars honked in support of their message. Organizers cited the new administration as being one of the reasons they were ending the weekly protest. Bobbie Paul, who has attended well over 200 of the Friday protests, said “we didn't stop the war, but we helped change the discourse and helped this country move towards change.”
