There were rallies across the United States and around the world over the weekend commemorating the third anniversary of this war. The Washington Post has a photo essay of shots here.

Sunday night I was back in Philadelphia for a candlelight vigil organized by United for Peace and Justice with about 150 people braving some serious cold and wind.
