Who we are 2/2: … We condemn all wars, all acts of terrorism, and the manufacture of weapons.
Human history has seen enough wars as in: Afghanistan, Australia, Iraq, Iran Vietnam, Cambodia, Palestine, Israel, Bosnia, Kosovo, East Timor, Europe and Asia in World Wars 1 & 2, Africa, South America, etc. We need no further suffering from wars to know that only peace has the solutions for all humanity.
