Two people were arrested and a minute's silence was held for the dead in America and Afghanistan during an action by Irish peace protesters against US war planes, which are using Shannon Airport to refuel. The festive atmosphere (singing, dancing and music) was shattered by the arrival of hundreds of American-trained killers (Marines) marching through neutral Ireland on their way to war. The protest coincided with a photo shoot of Donald Rumsfeld drinking Guinness with US Marines.
