Anti-war protest targets Republicans, Democrats

Anti-war groups say they're not happy with the stances of the major presidential candidates on the possibility of war with Iran.

More than 100 protesters marched past the Cook County Republican Headquarters and Democratic candidate Barack Obama's campaign office in Chicago this weekend to express their displeasure.

Protesters also went by the Israeli Consulate.

The issue of Iran's nuclear program and the possibility of Israel launching an attack on Iranian facilities has come up frequently during campaigning.

Some demonstrators criticized Obama for what they say has been his failure to offer peaceful alternatives to war.

As they marched Saturday, they chanted, "We want justice, we want peace. U.S. out of the Middle East!"

Similar marches were held in other cities.
