  • Love your video, very direct and concise. I like the visual aids.

    We must all work for peace and justice.

    One Earth, One People, One Love.

  • I guess we agree on some things.
    We must all work on justice, so we all can live in peace.

  • That is very touching and very true. I once had La Donna Harris stay in my home when she was running with Barry Commoner the Green Party. In order to have peace, as above said, we will have to have justice for all. No one wants to address the nasty alternatives to fighting for other people's freedoms. Look at Burma - Those military men are killing, lieing, and destroying hundreds of thousands of people. Look as so many Iraq citizens killed by AlQAEDA AND Taliban and other terror groups. Darfur - Someone must protect the innocents who are being abused and killed by bad groups. Vietnam - We needed to stay and finish - tons more men were killed there, and look at what was done to the innocents after we were forced out - Horror - All because the Communists gave arms and help to the North, and we could not risk world war, and the too left media and left people were very concerned for their want for peace, so we got our peace, our soldiers were not honored, and the innocent people of South Vietnam were raped and plundered by the North Bast----s! We all want peace, but we cannot always have it, and to insure it for the masses, our soldiers have to fight for that right for the rest of us and other innocents in the world. How would you stop the horrible militants in Darfur, Burma, and all of the other non-free nations being held captive by military and dictators? It is just not easy!
    Thanks

  • Horrific.
    When will the world see that violence and war lead only to an endless spiral of death and destruction?
    As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, the way to change is through peaceful non-violent resistance.
    We must see the use of weapons and violence as the true obscenity and challenge our government to stop spending our tax dollars on war.

  • your tax dollars will never get back to you no matter if there is a war or not.

  • It matters when the U.S. government uses my tax money to kill and torture people, bomb countries not attacking America and destroy the environment, instead of using it to feed, shelter, educate and provide health care and get the 38 million Americans out of poverty.

  • Awesome video.
    Sweet.

  • We are not doing anything unneeded in the way of torture. We declared war on the terrorists who bombed the US, and many other countries. Then it belongs to the military courts. We are not bombing anyone for NO reason. We do need to help increase health care, but if we do not do it in a free enterprise manner, it will be run by the government - improperly, and all of our health care will decline. We do need to protect the environment more. More laws to protect how we do it and how we regulate the insurance companies so no LOOP HOLES or PREEXISTING CONDITIONS LOOP HOLES exist.

  • Torture is wrong. Period.

    It shames all Americans that torture was, and is being done in our name with our tax money.

    If it were your son or daughter being tortured, what would you think is "uneeded in the way of torture."?

    Human beings do not torture.

    All spiritual teachings condemn the inhumane treatment of others.

    The worldwide broadcast of the execution of Saddam Hussein was an obscene display of how barbaric governments and people still are today in the 21st century.
    It makes one realize how some have not progressed from the barbaric cruelty of England's King Henry VIII whose subjects gathered in mobs to see his wives and political enemies beheaded in public squares. Not surprising that Showtime's THE TUDORS still draws fascinated gawkers today.

  • Keep up the good work, Charleen...someday mankind will no longer feel a need to rage or to wage war, which defiles the innocent and exonerates the wicked...

  • what world do you live in plato. We have been fighting since the creation of man. There will never be peace, its dumb to think there could ever be complete peace. It's just wishful thinking. It can never be accomplished.

    Violence is part of human nature. Conflict between people is inevitable. It is our choice whether to let conflict descend into an endless cycle of violence and war or choose the path of peaceful non-violent resistance.

    Read Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Nobel Laureate speech for his cogent explanation why violence is never the answer to conflict and injustice, and how and why peaceful non-violent resistance is the correct path to resolve difference and build the beloved community.

    "When I despair,
    I remember that all through history
    the way of truth and love have always won.
    There have been tyrants, and murderers,
    and for a time they can seem invincible,
    but in the end they always fall.
    Think of it ...always."

  • If you don't believe that peace will come, then you will never be part of the solution, instead, you are part of the problem...

    Every person can choose to be part of the solution.
