Please Stop the War

I was really touched by this video and forgive me but we are all humans and is the price of anything really worth the suffering that confict causes?

I know it will never change but I just wanted to share.

People are people no matter where you live. A human life is worth more than a strategic alliance, the price of a barrel of oil, influence in a region.

Just stop already.

WOW !!!!! EXCELLENT !!!!

Thank you so much for posting that video what an amazing start to my day having the privilege to watch that and listen to that voice. Usually I detest shows like X-Factor but today I am glad that they exist just so that people like him get their chance to realise their dream and I get to listen to that humbling story and beautiful voice.

S&F OP, and a tear.

Damn, I've got the sniffles. Moved to tears. I know deep down inside that the answer to all woes is to love one another and be our brother's keeper. I don't do too well at this but I'll make a special effort tomorrow to be kind. I hope very much that I succeed.

James Blunt served as an Army Captain in Kosovo.

Sincerely thanks for the video.

It's unfortunate that we need a stupid TV show to remind us or our humanity.
It's unfortunate that we need to see an image of a handicap Arab kid to remind us that we are ALL the SAME.

Stop the freaking wars, illegal wars based on lies.

A beautiful man and poet. We all know this won't be thrown at us over and over again via the media outlets. If so people would question their carte blanche support for war. They may question what it means. And then, they may truly try to think.

Just curious: which war?

Iran-Iraq War, Gulf War, Kurd or Shia Uprising, OIF, or something I may have missed.

Your last sentence seems to be the problem, do we stand and fight against the evils of humanity, or do we appease them? Doing the right thing may not always be the popular idea, sometimes the right thing has to be justified and codified through a manipulation of ideas, or even it may only appear that way to those who cannot recompense the evil necessary to combat evil.
