Bishop Desmond Tutu repeats the core belief of Christians that we must forgive our trespassers. His real world example from the end of Apartheid in South Africa could provide an example to our foreign policy.
Hatred breeds hatred, revenge breeds revenge. Contrition, confession and forgiveness open the door to new, peaceful beginnings.
If Americans believe this, they should support candidates who can admit the extent of our country's culpability in business and human rights violations and renounce pre-emptive war as an instrument of policy.
