[The
following might almost be a political speech]
"But… what happens if we
re-think it? And imagine that the white flag just means ‘stop’. I want to stop
- and I know you want to stop.
[PAUSE] So let’s stop.
I don’t like this - and I
know you don’t like it.
I don’t want to die - and I
know that you don’t want to die.
Let’s talk about this. This
disagreement – this bloody war – and decide how we can solve our disagreements,
and move forward.
Let’s talk about what I did
wrong and what you did wrong and let us agree that we both did wrong. And then
let us decide how to do something right.
Let’s sit down – with tea
and cake – and decide what we now need to do, to do right: to do right for the
land and right for the people.
‘It is senseless to fight
when you cannot hope to win.’ [Apache]
Dying is not winning! Being killed is
not winning!"
