“The
problem, of course, lies with the realities concealed from us. This has always
been the case. While the American public has slowly grappled with ongoing injustices
visible within our own borders, it has long failed to discover and correct our
government's abuses abroad. In the end, however, this is our government, and torture
is being utilized in our names and supported by our tax dollars. We are responsible.”
We
must accept the fact that we are indeed our brothers’ and sisters’ collective
keepers. If we are indifferent to the basic human needs of others, then peace
will always elude us. Suffering, when too long ignored, inevitably leads to conflagration.”
We
are reacting out of fear instead of thinking our way through the difficult process
of conflict resolution. In the end, our use of violence and repression can only
sow seeds of hatred and trauma, which in the end will produce only greater violence
against us.”
