A pro-administration rally was held near the anti-war rally in Washington. Speakers talked about the history of war in America and the reasons why they supported military action in Iraq. At one point, a large number of Iraqi protestors joined the rally and spoke about the crimes of Saddam Hussein. In addition, anti-war protestors joined the crowd and shouted chants to interrupt the speakers. They were eventually escorted away from the rally. 

The sponsor of the rally and the affiliation of several speakers were inadvertently identified as Free Republic Network.
