Robert Kennedy: Is it finally time to resume the quest for peace? I would say yes. When my uncle took office in January of 1961, and I was at his inauguration three days before he took office on January 17th, Dwight Eisenhower gave a speech that is probably one of the most important speeches in American history. He warned Americans against the emergence of military and industrial complex that would devour our democracy. That would turn us into an imperial state abroad and a surveillance state at home. So how do you plan to go against these trends of recent decades and it's many decades now where peace is not even on the table? HowDo you plan to make this happen?
