Here's a great way to get the message out: Anti-War Billboard Unveiled Over Times Square After a legal battle ends in compromise, an anti-war billboard was finally unveiled in Times Square Monday. Next to a 105-foot dove painted with the stars and stripes, the ad on the Conde Nast building says: Democracy Is Best Taught By Example, Not War. The anti-war group had originally wanted to use the image of a bomb, but it was forced to change to a dove after the billboard owner clear channel refused to put up the ad. New Yorkers seemed to be happy about the change. I didnt think the bomb was appropriate; the dove is fine, one city resident said. Everyone has a right to say what they say. They paid for it, so they have a right. Its not obscene or anything like that, so you have a right to say it. I think a dove stands for peace, and thats what the U.S. is about, and its a great anthem to use, another passer-by said. The billboard will stay in place through the Republican Convention, until October. A separate ticker displaying the cost of the war in Iraq will hang on the W Hotel until December.
