Over the past 20 years, I've seen millions of people
taking small sips of freedom.
In the past two weeks, they're gulping terror again.
Over the past two weeks
I've seen people held against their will.
Desperately crying to be rescued.
Watched them be shut up-beaten up- blown up.
I've watched them plummet from the undercarriage of a rescue plane.
The most disturbing thing is that despite all the
heartache-
humiliation-
misery
rape and death.
There is still one man on this planet who thinks the whole thing was a smashing success...
And that man can't remember why.
