The Women in Black stand at a park by one of Homer&rsquo;s only traffic lights each Tuesday at noon, eight years and four months into the Iraqi conflict known as the Second Operation Desert Storm.
Occasionally a driver goes by and wags a middle finger at them. They also have received thousands of supportive waves, bouquets of flowers, honks and many cups of coffee and tea. In Homer&rsquo;s peaceful hamlet, other than the Women&rsquo;s vigil, one could easily forget America&rsquo;s involvement in the devastating wars raging in the Middle East.
