"War," a friend of mine said, "is not about sound at all. It is actually about silence, the silence of humanity."
Beyond the worlds of war and peace, there is a field, and there are many women and men [who] are meeting there. Let us make this field a much bigger place. Let us all meet in that field.
I have learned not only that the colors and the sounds of war are the same, but the fears of war are the same. You know, there is a fear of dying.
I grew up in war-torn Iraq, and I believe that there are two sides of wars and we've only seen one side of it. We only talk about one side of it. But there's another side that I have witnessed as someone who lived in it and someone who ended up working in it.
