I DON’T KNOW HOW I MISSED THIS: Hundreds Show Up for Anti-Hussein Rally:
DETROIT– About 500 Arab men marched around the McNamara Federal Building Wednesday to voice their anger at Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and to show their support for the United States.
The demonstrators, most of whom were of Iraqi descent, carried signs and banners denouncing Hussein, Local 4 reported. The marchers shouted “down, down Saddam,” and “Saddam is a fascist,” and made other derogatory remarks against the Iraqi leader.
Many in the group have family in Iraq and are calling for Hussein’s ouster, Local 4 reported. The demonstrators favored U.S. military action against Iraq to put an end to the current regime, according to the station.
One of the participants told Local 4 that he and other demonstrators were worried about Hussein using chemical weapons against the Iraqi people.
