  • Political leaders make wars- not people.

    But it's always people who pay the price.

    The last thing those who die experience is the hatered of those who kill them.

    And those who live have to bear the burden of their memories 'til their dying days.

    Nations are made of people:

    Not of flags,

    Not of national anthems-

    And most certainly not of politicians...

    Not the inept ones, and not the hatemongering ones.

    May all nations be blessed...

  • this is a great man
