Peace Rally Leads to Fighting

September 1 - The war in Iraq sparking a heated confrontation in Wichita. War supporters and opponents butted heads Thursday at a peace rally.

The "Bring Them Home Now" tour started at the site of Cindy Sheehan's vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch. Sheehan's son died fighting in the war in Iraq.

Although Sheehan didn't make the trip to Wichita, her cause sparked heated exchanges. People on both sides of the issue shared their opinions on the war by yelling at each other.

The war also led to a patriotic show at Wichita's Veteran's Park. A group stood together to show their support of the war in Iraq.
