Hear a panel speak about the human, economic and political impacts of the Iraq war on Iraq and the U.S., analysis of U.S. Iran relations and how lessons from Iraq can guide U.S. Iran policy.

Mike Ferner, interim director of Veterans for Peace, speaks at AFSC's Windows and Mirrors opening reception in Kansas City. Ferner said the images from the Afghanistan War reminded him of buses and planes carrying wounded soldiers home from the war in Vietnam. For a slideshow from the reception, please click here.

By Jon Krieg, AFSC Senior Administrative Associate

Talk with people at a recent reception marking the opening of AFSC’s Windows and Mirrors Exhibit in Kansas City and you hear reactions like powerful and intense, painful and hopeful.
