An admirable history of a man struggled for peace. You have been trying to convey a message of humanity to politicians who forgot about their being humane . God bless you bro.

When it comes to the dude with the glasses and white guy gerry curls being interviewed it’s crazy to think that if he were to give his interview today and had the same politics he would probably be a democrat advocating for showing strength and aggressive political or even military action against the Russians and, after 20 years protesting for troops to come home from there,to expand our military presence in the Middle East in order to render aid to a semi-autonomous theocracy governed by an internationally recognized terrorist organization driven by a religious ideology whose leaders are not only hypocrites to the religion but live in luxury in foreign lands while the people whom they have responsibility for starve and die in squalor and sorrow which is the literal definition of what modern day left wing democrats call white privilege or the patriarchy and believe is evil if committed by people they see being higher up on the ‘power structure’. But if he had his vehement anti war opinions now he would be more conservative to our current political situation.
