(Her country had never been aggressive, had never espoused violence, had never taken sides in the squabbles of others. She wondered how people could sleep if they knew that somebody, in their name, was dropping bombs on other people or breaking into their homes and taking them away somewhere. Why did they do it? Why was it necessary to kill and maim other people when the other people would be just the same as yourself--people who wanted to live with their families and go to work in the morning and have enough to eat a the end of the day? That was not much to ask of the world, even if for many the world could not grant even that small request.)
