Europe Against US War, 2004
The following are just a small sampling of the graffitti, posters,
headlines, etc. I ran across.
In eight different countries, the sentiment is the same.

"no war", at Las Fallas in Valencia

a whole room in a Berlin artist squat was dedicated to anti-American-war
agitprop

Even mainstream sources call America imperialist

Bush & Blair poster for a demonstration in Hamburg

also in Hamburg

a Falla in Valencia poking fun at the motivations for the war; I couldn't
read the caption, though.

"Bush, Blair, & Ansar [Spanish president at the time] are the
new terrorists of the 21st century"

in London

get-out-the-vote in Amsterdam. if you can't read the small print, it
says:
"30,000 Americans live in the Netherlands. 537 votes put George
W. Bush in the White House."

in Lisbon. best I can figure, it says something like "Americans
in Portugal are beneath the cobblestones". I don't really get it.

Another Falla poking fun at the cowboy war: one of the captions on the
oil rig says "no WMD here, just oil!"
