Think finally of what it means to die for a friend. It is deliberate and painful; there is no ecstasy. For friends, dying is hard and bitter. The dialogue they have and cherish will perhaps never be recreated. Friends do not, the way comrades do, love death and sacrifice. To friends, the prospect of death is frightening. And this is why friendship or, let me say love, is the most potent enemy of war.
Or, depending on the circumstances and the cause, friendship is not a potent enemy of war ... but a force that pushes it to its quickest and most just conclusion. This guy's moral relativism and equivalency knows no bounds. Christ hiumself said this ...
Greater love hath no man than this, that he layeth down his life for a friend.
This guy deserved every bit of the heckling that he got for his rabid anti-American and pro-terrorists (Palestinian) remarks IMHO.

I thought he didn't finish the speech. This makes it sound like he did.

Not a bad speech in style, just full of errors, echoes of Arab disinformation, and left-liberal short cuts = for example that if it wasn't for Putin and Sharon the jihadists would drop their ideology and such.
