In the words of a musician and political activist John Lennon and his quirky wife Yoko Ono:"All we are saying...is give peace a chance."
With a similar war waging on in Iraq and after watching the subject title documentary, I have realized, we are dealing with the same situation like the Vietnam War. However, this time, we do not have stand up persons like the Black Panthers or John Lennon to command that type of media attention. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe the Dixie Chicks were "blacklisted" by the establishment/government.

In a world of confusion, conflict, and continued hatred towards everyone - I now understand if I want to make a change, I must be my own activist and vocalize my feelings/thoughts - then and maybe only then will we be ejected from all this despair.
