open space is so devoid of vegetation that you want to leave. And just when you start to say to yourself, this park is so ugly, how could they create such a terrible place, how could anyone create a memorial that makes you feel so bad, and what am I doing here I just want to go someplace with trees . . . then you realize: there was no refuge on that day, there was only heat and thirst and worse, much, much worse.

This is not a place where you go to feel good.

Every one of our world leaders should visit this place.
