In Seattle, more than 1000 students walked out of classes to protest the inauguration, with hundreds of students from the Seattle Central Community College taking to opportunity to drive US Army recruiters off their campus, according to the January 28 US Socialist Worker.

On the same day Bush was crowned, two car bombs left more than 20 people dead in attacks on a Shiite church in Iraq and a suicide bomb attack wounded 25 in an attempt to kill a pro-US warlord in Afghanistan, according to a January 20 report by Associated Press.
