DENVER - Some Denver area high school students made their feelings known 
Friday about the possibility of a war with Iraq.

Around 10:30 a.m., students at North High School walked out of class to 
protest the war that President Bush is threatening to wage. They held signs 
and banners, as they lined the streets outside the school.

Several other students at Denver schools walked out at the same time. 

The protest was organized by a group of seniors at Escuela Tlatelolco Centro 
De Estudios.

The Bush administration maintains that war might be necessary to prevent Iraq 
from launching weapons of mass destruction. The president and his advisors 
say that Iraq has the weapons and has programs to build more. "We know that 
from previous inspections,” a State Department spokesman said Friday. “We 
know that from our own information. We know that from what Iraq has bought in 
recent years."(The Associated Press contributed to this report. Copyright
