“Hate cannot be conquered by force and punishment. It can only be conquered with assistance, understanding, and tolerance. All world experiences prove this to be so.
“We must change our approach from a war against terrorism to a war against poverty and hunger. We must direct our goals and trade to give more mutual benefit, respect and understanding in order to win their friendship.
“It’s no longer possible for us to control world resources for mostly our benefit. … The USA cannot play God … or unilaterally try to retain our economic advantage or force our moral standards on others. “We must give greater support and encouragement to the United Nations and world opinions.”
Three years later, no biological or chemical weapons found, billions of dollars in hock, lives lost, many maimed and psychologically damaged and more terrorism with no end in sight, only the most zealous empire builders would not like to turn the clock back three years, get our facts straight and let the family of nations chart the course.
