As I sat in the basement, I thought, this is what it's like sitting in a bomb shelter, not knowing if you will have a home when it is all over. We were lucky. There was no damage. Elsewhere in the world, this is not the case. The recent events in Kosovo make it more clear than ever how dangerous and unpredictable the old strategy of meeting violence with violence actually is.
Violence begets violence.
Violence doesn't create peace, and negotiations haven't created peace. These approaches haven't worked because they don't address the underlying cause of the violence, which is the tension and negativity that is boiling up in this area. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and for following it up. Any action you take to help get the word out would be so much appreciated. This is real stuff.
