You can give up war if you want, but I wouldn't mind seeing America give up hatred first. Then one might affect the other. We have become so intent on attacking people who are different from us... socially, politically or culturally. Immigrant bashing has become too easy. The latest attacks are too similar to the things that were once said of the Italians, Germans, Irish, Polish and others. These hateful comments cannot be tolerated. They are not acceptable. A nation with our history must eventually recognize that if we are responsible for eradicating global crimes, then we might consider showing less vitriol and venom to our unfortunate brothers and sisters who risk all to come to our land of opportunity.
