  1. Don't imagine it any other way this is the greatest war on the planet right now similar to the basic issue of the decade and is going on directly in front of us and will profoundly influence every one of us. Disregard Oil, Terrorism and the Environment this is a war we should win to have an opportunity to illuminate these different issues. Mandela's org.
