"Those in positions of responsibility lack the conviction necessary to earnestly condemn war and violence. Everything is left up to someone else. People act as if these matters didn’t impact them. They have lost their sense of purpose and responsibility.
Humankind will never see the light of peace as long as one party seeks to subjugate the other by force, both sides caught in a vicious cycle of reprisals that exacts an eye for an eye, a life for a life. The war in Iraq is not the war of the military and the terrorist is the war of each one of us.
