“In my life I have met people who have committed horrendous and barbaric acts. I have met child soldiers who have murdered their parents or their siblings. But they were not born evil. They have carried out those brutal deeds when guns were aimed at their own heads. They have had to choose between their own lives and those they were forced to kill. What would I have done as a thirteen-year-old in that situation? The only honest answer I can give is that I don't know. I can hope that I would have acted differently, but I can't be sure.

. . .

There is always somebody who speculates and benefits from barbaric atrocities.

Barbaris always has human traits. That's what makes barbarism so inhuman.”
