I found out an interesting site, Sorryeverybody.com, where Americans apologize for making a mistake: Voting for Bush twice.
They show pictures they token by themselves, in which they write they are sorry.
Some of the messages:
 
Believe me, almost half of us are very goddamn sorry.
 
I’m so sorry, I did everything I could
 
I’m so … like… Fucking […]

They have used Unicode  UTF-8 encoding to write peace messages in all languages; many were done and others are still awaiting contribution.
The people of the world prefer […]

Let’s try preemptive peace.

I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions.

Un autre chef d’œuvre de Roberto Benigni est “La Tigre e la Neve”.

Casi, casi nada me resulta pasajero
Todo prende de mis sueños
Y se acoplan en mi espalda y así subo
Muy tranquilo la colina de la vida
Nunca me creo en la cima o en la gloria
Eso es un gran fantasma
Creado por generaciones, pasará
Atascado en el camino de la vida.
 
La realidad duerme sola en un […]

Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out…and help to slaughter strangers of […]

If you are looking for arguments to disapprove wars and promote peace, I would suggest you watch Lord of War.

Thousands of people around the world took to the streets in a “Global Day of Action” to mark the third anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq.

وكان عرس في قصر الأمير في إحدى الليالي وكان المدعوون يدخلون ويخرجون. فدخل رجل مع الداخلين وحيى الأمير باحترام ووقار. فنظر إليه الجميع بدهشة لأن إحدى عينيه كانت مفقودة والدم ينزف من نقرتها الفارغة
فسأله الأمير قائلا
ماذا دهاك يا صاح
فأجاب الرجل قائلا
أنا لص أيها الأمير و قد اغتنمت فرصة في ظلمة هذه الليلة […]

المجد

يود الفتى لو خاض عاصفة الردى        وصد الخميس المجر والأسد الوردا
ليدرك أمجاد الحروب ولو درى        حقيقتها ما رام من بينها مجدا
فما المجد في أن تسكر الأرض بالدما        وتركب في هيجائها فرسا نهدا
ولكنه في أن تصد بهمة        عن العالم المرزوء فيض الأسى صدا
