Anti-War Protesters Rally During Rice's Princeton Visit

Anti-War Protesters Rally During Rice's Princeton Visit: "PRINCETON BOROUGH - More than 150 people came out yesterday to protest the Bush administration's Iraq policy, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's visit to Princeton University as a lightning rod for searing criticism.

A rally sponsored by the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) was held in Palmer Square. It was followed by a march to the university's Jadwin Gymnasium, where Rice was giving the keynote address in a celebration marking the 75th anniversary of the university's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Among the speakers at the protest were U.S. Reps. Rush Holt, D-Hopewell Township, and Frank Pallone Jr., D-Long Branch.

'This administration has the worst foreign policy, I believe, in American history,' Pallone said. Pallone said the administration has a preemptive foreign policy and a 'cowboy mentality' about the war in Iraq and asked protesters to think of the outcome if every country began to act preemptively.

'Our president is never going to be successful in my opinion . . . and we need to send a message to this administration that we want out,' Pallone said."
