PROTESTORS IN SYDNEY HOLD PLACARDS AGAINST AUSTRALIA'S INVOLVEMENT IN A WAR ON IRAQ, 2003-03-18 (photo)

Australians voice their disapproval over Australia's involvement in a possible war in Iraq during Sydney's rush hour March 18, 2003. Australia on Tuesday committed its troops to fight against Iraq if the United States launches military action to disarm Baghdad of weapons of mass destruction. "This decision was taken at a cabinet meeting this morning following a further telephone discussion between myself and (U.S.) President Bush," Prime Minister John Howard said as protests began in a nation divided over the need for war.
