was a sad incident indeed...One who entered the

But he came to the country on

preventive measures for perpetuation of

the nation concerned. About 100,000 people led by
anti-war Iraq veterans, families of servicemen
and others mounted a protest to demand an
immediate end to the US occupation of Iraq in
Washington DC on 17 September 2007. The police
prevented the demonstrators and arrested about
200 demonstrators. Peaceful protests are prevented
even in the democracy pioneer country. So, I don?t
think taking preventive measures against protests
to avert undesirable consequences in a country on
the path of democratic transition goes too far..."
