ATLANTA, April 1 -- Organizers said as many as 4,000 people marched for two miles to an antiwar rally that also called for justice and compassion at home.

The Rev. Joseph E. Lowery, whose remarks against the Iraq war and the Bush administration at the funeral of Coretta Scott King in February drew criticism, spoke to a friendlier crowd Saturday. Lowery said the United States' role in the world should be to feed the hungry, house the homeless, heal the sick, rehabilitate prisoners, educate the young and care for the aged -- 'not to send smart bombs on dumb missions to kill innocent people in foreign lands.'"
