War is over... if you want it...

I snagged this incredible video from a very precious friend of mine at another message board. This video sums it up for me... Merry Christmas DU.

And special thanks to TR.

NGU.

Thank you... I never had anything recommended before!

So powerful, so sad.

Hope it gets more recs :)

:cry:

I don't think I've seen a montage of war photos/videos that graphic and that heart-wrenching and, like everyone here, I've seen a bunch. Juxtaposed with Lennon's bittersweet song, it was almost too much to take.

It was heart wrenching to watch... but is IS what is IS... :cry:

:cry:

go right to the gut . . . I could only watch about a third of it tonight . . . but I'll make it a point to watch the whole thing at some point, because I feel I have a responsibility to witness what my nation is doing to human beings throughout the world . . . and what others are doing . . .

it is well past time for the nations of the world to come together and abolish war . . . continuing to handle disputes with violence is a sure recipe, eventually, for complete and irreversible global destruction . . .

the human race needs to start valuing life -- ALL life, all of creation -- for its intrinsic worth . . . because if we don't, this planet and the life it supports will not survive . . .

and that's a fact . . .

Not only the murder of Lennon, but also the murder of that vision and the slaughters that have followed. This video tells the truth.

(edit to fix typo)

wow. thanks for this.

Thank you for this - I cried like a baby watching it. We have to be one of the most useless species to ever infest this planet to inflict such pain and misery on each other like this.
