8. Thank you! I have the feeling that if John Lennon were still with us, he would get in touch with

this beautiful young man to sing this song with him.

2. He's beautiful! Did we do that? I have nightmares about

the havoc we caused in Iraq. Why aren't more people outraged, and why have the perpetrators been ignored? I hope his song goes around the world.

15. ditto

I think that's a big part of why so many tears came spilling when I watched it.
Not just a sad but inspired story, but one that never needed to happen. And instead of hatred & anger, love and hope.

I too hope he keeps singing around the world.

19. Gulf War 1 probably contributed to many children being born with severe handicaps

Depleted uranium was all over that place..I doubt that there will ever really be acknowledgement, but there are websites that chronicle the upsurge in birth defects after that war..And in chromosomal damage to vets who were exposed & then went on to have children when the returned.
