In Tokyo, Japan thousands convene in the streets of Ginza to protest Prime Minister Abe’s decision to become an American ally in the war against Iraq; The first time that the Japanese are involved in a war as non pacifists since World War II. The stereotypically passive japaense people cried out “Down with Bush and Abe... Now we have to stand up for a revolution lead by labor.”

These images show the disgust of the Japanese people with their ex-leader. It is one of many protests against the Iraq war. Similar protests have sprung up in Glasgow, Florence, Sydney, Madrid, Instanbul and many other big cities around the world.
