I'll try to translate it:

We live in uncertain times. The world changes fast: new powers are emerging and the West seems to be losing her omnipotence. Whether peace has a future, depends on whether we are willing to jump over our own shadow of self-interest and to open ourselfs up for a world where every country can come into its own. If we don't do that, peace has no future. But I don't believe in that.
Just because we have different viewpoints, does not make you right and me wrong, for the record. Yes the government is not the greatest

However, the soldiers, knowing this, still fight and sacrifice just as much as those they have may killed. America is not evil, its not good. I would appreciate you know banging on it, thanks.


Coffee prevents me from killing you.
