  WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Anti-Iraq war protestors gathered in Crawford, Texas, on Friday and unveiled a stone monument there to honor Cindy Sheehan, a vocal opponent to the war whose soldier son was killed in Iraq last year.

    The 60-centimeter-high and 20-centimeter-wide monument, with the word "Sheehan's Stand," was unveiled at the Crawford Peace House, as a tribute to a protest led by Sheehan in August near President George W. Bush's ranch at Crawford.

    Bush arrived at the ranch on Tuesday evening for a six-day Thanksgiving break.

    "We're here to say that the killing has to stop and we're not going away," said Sheehan, who has become an icon of the anti-war movement since the 26-day vigil kilometers away from Bush's ranch.

    "We don't hate anybody, we just want people to be held accountable and just because someone's president of the United States, it doesn't guarantee them immunity from accountability," she said.

    On Wednesday, about a dozen anti-war protestors were arrested, for violating a ban on camping and parking on roads near Bush's ranch, which was imposed in September by county commissioners following the August protest.

    Sheehan, who was arrested twice in Washington outside the White House in September and October for protesting without permission, planned to lead an anti-war rally on Saturday and participate in an interfaith service on Sunday. Protestors said they would come to protest in Crawford every time Bush visited his ranch.

    Several war supporters held a rally in Crawford on Friday, and hundreds were expected to attend a pro-Bush rally Saturday. Enditem
