“That I have died means I have failed to achieve the one thing in life I truly longed to give the world — peace. The plight of human suffering consumed me and I dedicated much to trying to find the ideas that might lead humankind toward alleviating it for all. It was a quest which was inextricably intertwined with my quest for freedom. If you know anything about me you know that. Understand it and come to understand how the suffering of others tormented my soul. Then seek to honor my memory by trying to achieve what I could not.” ---- a young Marine who gave an interview with Pacifica Radio’s Peacewatch program the night before he was deployed to Iraq and was killed in late June
