It'd be a great world if we could all make a bit more of an effort to get on and understand each other. Maybe one day, eh?

No, you're absolutely right. In my opinion it started off as a noble cause (and I mean the start, not when they were bombing civilians in England btw) but in the end things had just gone too far to ever go back.
