"Happy Birthday Mass Murder"
Worldwide protests marked the anniversary of the war in Iraq on Saturday as tens of thousands demanded the US-led coalition pull its troops out of the country scarred by a year of war and insurrection.
Many protesters refuse to believe US assurances that Iraqis are better off and the world is safer as casualties mount daily in Iraq and bomb attacks wreck Western cities.
Nowhere was this more evident than in Spain where many people blamed the conservative government's decision to go to war in Iraq for the March 11 Madrid train bombs that killed 200 people.
"The government took the country to war, but it was ordinary people who got hurt and killed by the terrorists," film producer Lila Pla Alemany said on her way to a protest in Barcelona.
