All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason

Summary

It highlights the unfortunate truth that politics can be driven by various other factors such as power struggles, self-interests, and sometimes irrationality. Therefore, those who advocate for peace and justice must be aware of the significant challenges they face in influencing political outcomes, requiring a more strategic and persistent approach to achieve their goals.
