This weekend’s Peace Has No Borders: A Festival of Resistance brought together generations of people who oppose the war in Iraq. Veterans of World War II, Vietnam and both wars in Iraq joined with Vietnam resisters, Gold Star mother Cindy Sheehan and several Iraq war resisters who are currently living in Canada. The event was organized by Vietnam war resister Bruce Beyer and Iraq veteran Geoff Millard, both from Buffalo. All called for an end to a war that they consider illegal and immoral, and asked for Americans to support all soldiers who oppose the war—those who have served in it and those who choose not to. The bond and love between all of these men and women was obvious. They have become an extended family of brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. Cindy Sheehan received warm hugs from the young men seeking refuge in Canada. She tearfully wished that her son Casey had joined these soldiers in Canada rather than going to Iraq, where he was killed five days into his tour of duty. While Casey will never be replaced, it seems that Sheehan now has an army of sons.
