How would we begin to atone and account for this stolen land and genocide against the native Americans?

How would we begin to respond to the stolen lives of Africans in America and their stolen labor?

Another 100 years of Segregation?

How would we repair the whole damage done to Japan with the dropping of our atomic bombs?

Grenada, Panama, Gulf War I . . . a half a million Iraqi children dead.

Gulf War II --- 2 million Iraqis civilians killed. 4,000+ American soldiers.

Five years of occupation of Iraq ---
