Being a fervent supporter of peace and being ashamed of the actions my govt. takes around the world to acquire natural resources (and that is what war is ALL about) I am pleased to see acts by Americans who are trying to "undo" the horror by our govt. by bringing medicine to the wounded and momentary joy to the youngest victims of our military aggression.
What Patch Adams did was to bring help & document the aftermath that the horrors of our military actions have taken by creating this powerful film. To minimize it is to denounce an act of love. For those who have panned this movie I ask ...Outside of the United States harming people around the world who is doing something to heal the planet? Compassion is a rare but necessary trait these days and Patch Adams is the doctor prescribing one form of treatment. I am grateful for his actions.
The music and the joyous expressions on the faces of the children reduced me to tears!!!
