| by Bette Peterson Our “Gang of 5” peace picketed U.S. Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City. After spending almost 2 weeks with Global Exchange starting at Hanoi and seeing beautiful country, meeting the people and learning the facts, we arrived at our final destination, Ho Chi Minh City. There the world- wide demonstrations against the war in Iraq were shown on local TV. Immediately the “Gang of 5” was created. We bought a king-sized sheet and wrote in large letters NO WAR. We proceeded to the American Embassy and were joined by an American veteran, his 2 sons plus a few Americans walking along embassy row. The police came and informed us that we couldn’t do this. They were very polite and we continued with our shouting “Down with War.” The police did not try to stop us though a very large crowd of bicycles, motorcycles and mopeds had gathered across the street to watch this spectacle. Eventually a policeman even came up to us and told us how to say No War in Vietnamese: Không Chiên Tranh
