11. We often talk as if there's a large market for war.

Well, I believe there's an even larger market for peace. It's people, not governments. Artists and musicians and everyday people who don't want bombs killing their children. We should not listen to the governmental and self appointed 'leaders' who are bloodthirsty. We should listen to and support anyone and everyone who is striving for peace and justice. There's a symphony that comprises Palestinians and Israelis. Those are the people to whom we should all be listening. I refuse to watch television that fails to interview them, and the millions like them.
