Peace activist Kathy Kelly said yesterday that she has been to Iraq 28 times in the last 15 years because she feels that action, not just words, are needed to make a difference.

“You can’t be a vegetarian between meals, and you can’t be a pacifist between wars,” Ms. Kelly said, quoting American pacifist Ammon Hennacy.

The 53-year-old peace activist from Chicago, speaking to a packed house of several hundred people in the University of Toledo Law Center Auditorium, was the featured speaker at the Sixth Annual Maryse Mikhail Memorial Lecture.
