Veterans' Day. to all veterans, though i don't presume any of them will read this. I respect your willingness to give so much of yourself to those around you. I mourn those of you we have lost, those who are still missing or still captured. Although i don't respect your methods, I know you meant well, that most of you were thinking more about your loved ones, your lovers, nephews, and mothers than you were about the thrill of killing someone else. I know you think war is necessary, that there is nothing else to do, though so few other methods have even been tried. so that is my challenge, to both myself and to you, to find other ways to settle problems, like we have within our own country, where duelling is illegal and most people go to the courts or the police before they pull out their weapons. Take your energy and willingness to sacrifice and devote it to furthering peace around the world, so fewer of you will actually lose their lives, so fewer of all of us, in all countries, will lose ours. We are all veterans of a world war, fighting going on all around us, between criminals and policemen, mothers and fathers, soldiers and soldiers, people against themselves. I hope we can mourn the loss of each other and prevent all the future's disasters.
