Give piece a chance

Dang. Who knew worldwide peace was so easy?

Yoko Ono is calling for the anniversary of the death of her husband, John Lennon, to become a day of worldwide healing.

In a full-page advertisement appearing in Sunday editions of The New York Times, Ono urges readers to mark the anniversary by apologizing to those who have suffered because of violence and war.

“Every year, let's make December 8th the day to ask for forgiveness from those who suffered the insufferable,” writes the former Beatle's widow, who signs the letter Yoko Ono Lennon.

A small point, however. Do I have to apologize only to those I may have personally caused to suffer because of violence and war, my little piece of the insufferable? Or must I apologize to all of them? Or do we divvy the victims up somehow?
