The First United Methodist Church of Germantown calls it a wrap after conducting a monthly vigil in opposition to the Iraq War since late 2006. Fox News is terribly upset that Iraq War veterans didn't receive an enthusiastic homecoming parade in their honor, but Al Jazeera examines the site of the war's biggest battle between insurgents and Americans and finds Fallujah is still a pile of rubble, citizens there are still pulling dead bodies from the wreckage, there's still no steady electrical power, still no real victory. Our frequent contributor Stephen Lendman has recently written on Iraq's and the Middle East's condition several times.
Members of the First United Methodist Church of Germantown (FUMCOG) have been joined by many peace groups in their "Final Friday" vigil many times, but the church has always been the core group since the vigil began in late 2006.
