In the video above, Jude Law is speaking from Kabul, Afghanistan following up on a documentary in which he appears promoting ‘Peace One Day’. They say he traveled to the ‘most dangerous areas of Afghanistan’. (Yeah, I’m so sure he did! lol). The U.N. has filmed this documentary to promote this day of peace on September 21st.
Jude makes a point of saying this is apolitical, independent, impartial. He implores anyone who sees his film to make a commitment for peace for one day.
Okay, that’s great. I’m absolutely certain his intentions are good.
So, what I wonder is whether or not he will talk with the Taliban, al-Qaeda, the Iranian operatives and others bent on our destruction and get the same commitment from them.
We ALL want peace. Those of us with loved ones in harms way want it more than anyone other than our Troops. No one wants peace more than the fighting men and women.
You can preach to the choir - but how do you get the other side to stop killing?
