Reply #13: read his anti-war writings [View All]

[riverwalker]

I've read the things he wrote back in the 70's and they could have written by any progressive today. He HATED war, despised everything about war, saw through all the idiotic reasons for it, and saw it for what it was, murderous insanity. A part of me believes that part of him is still there and will influence him as a leader. I know people grow and change and adapt as they age, but that intensity and passion was not a youthful "phase" it was a core belief. I have to believe that, it's my only hope.
