    Learn from John Lennon and Perez Esquivel, Nobel Peace Prize.
    Give up hatred and resentment towards Argentina. Their claims are just as expressed by 99.99% of Argentines of all political parties and religious beliefs in Argentina and Latin America.
    This conflict is not resolved with resentment and revanchism. Resolved to peace and dialogue.
    As Luther King: There are no roads to peace, peace is the road. I think most people's English has the same feeling deep. Peace, dialogue and nonviolence.

    You try very badly Argentine and Latin American, get an examination of conscience before speaking.

    John Lennon phrases that are applicable to British aggression in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

    “Give a chance for peace” ... .. “I can not believe I'm honored. I thought it was necessary to drive tanks and win wars. ”....“ If we take the power, would have the task of cleaning the bourgeoisie and keeping people in a revolutionary state of mind. ”
    Lennon returned his medal Member of the Order of the British Empire in September 1969, through a letter to the Queen of England itself and sent to St. James Palace in London. The musician took this decision by the UK involvement in the war of secession of Biafra, by the British government support the U.S. invasion of Vietnam and the censorship of his song 'Cold Turkey', because the references to including drugs.
    ”Your Majesty, I am returning my MBE (acronym for the logo is known) as a protest against Britain's involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra matter, against our support for the U.S. in Vietnam and against falling 'Cold Turkey' on the music charts. With love, John Lennon, ”reads the letter he wrote the musician to the Queen, according to reports in 'Music News' collected by otr / press. Now, the Medal of the Order of the British Empire could end up in a museum as fans of the musician claim.
    Yes, John really is a true revolutionary of peace and nonviolence.

    ? What was offensive about my comment? My friends there adore The Beatles. And I do not hate Argentina or Argentines as I have stated many times.
