He is one brave and true person. I'm against armed forces too. (Just look army has done to my country, Pakistan). Why kill humans? Boundaries are artificial. All humans are one nation. The whole world is one country, one nation, one people.

Love to all people, all nationalities, all religions (and non-religious), to all my brothers and sisters whether black, white or in between. (our governments wants to keep us separated). We are one.
