Wars happen because of choices made.

Sample of script

Two actors are miming watching a parade go by.
1: See the veterans marching, makes you proud to be a (name of country),
doesn’t it?

2: What are they marching for?

1: What are they marching for? You know what they are marching for. It’s
(depending on country: Veterans Day/ Remembrance Day).

2: I know that, but what do they have to march for?

1: These are the people who have served in the many wars in which we have
been involved, from the Korean War to the Second World War, even some
from the First World War. They march to acknowledge the part they
played keeping our country free.

2: That’s just my point. We are far from free. We are under a cloud of fear.

1: But as you can see in the lives of those who are marching today, we can’t
ever abandon the pursuit of freedom for which our country stands.

2: Big words! All I see is men and women from another age, another time;
marching here while all over the world there is turmoil, fighting, terrorism,
unspeakable misery and violence.

1: There is no doubt that the events of the last few months have shaken us to
the very foundations of our belief in peace and serenity.

2: Shaken us? Better to admit that it has forever destroyed our belief in the
possibility of peace ever happening again.

1: We must believe that peace will be restored.

2: That’s where you are wrong. Our world will never again know peace,
never again.

1: Those who have terrorized the world shall be found, shall be stopped.
