Anti-war protesters gather
Protesters in Canberra marched against Australia's involvement in what they call the "coalition of the killing" in Iraq.
The protest came on the second day of rallies and marches across Australia and the world to mark the second anniversary of the United States' invasion of the middle-eastern nation in 2003.
Around 150 people gathered in central Canberra just after midday and marched to the office of ACT Liberal Senator Gary Humphries.
The march was designed to send a message to the federal government that people were opposed to last month's decision to double the number of Australian troops in Iraq with the deployment of a further 450 soldiers, protest organiser Nick Everett said.
It was time the Iraqis were left alone, Mr Everett, a member of the Socialist Alliance party, said. (Greens accept Socialist Alliance support))
"I think there's plenty of evidence that the Iraqis oppose the US occupation," he said.
Other speakers at the rally included a representative from the Canberra Islamic Council, the Greens (see previous story on Greens ) party and Australians for Justice and Peace in Palestine.

A protest march in Melbourne Friday attracted around 1,000 people.
Rallies will be held in Sydney, Newcastle, Byron Bay, Wollongong, Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, Townsville and Perth.
A poll earlier this week found Labor's popularity had outstripped the coalition's for the first time in seven months.
Prime Minister John Howard admitted his decision to send extra troops had damaged his party's standing with the public.
