As for the "recognition" of the current situation in America based on the experience of the war in the Balkans, this has been happening for years. We recognize the same racism, the same nationalism, the same hatreds, the same obsession with "belonging", etc., etc. One of the main symbols of Trump's rule is the symbol of the wall. How many symbolic, physical and mental walls were built during the war in the former Yugoslavia? There is no end to them. I've always had more sympathy for bridges than for walls.

Additional quotes by Mira Furlan

I was one of those who really believed in the so-called brotherhood and unity, but not only of our peoples, but of all the people of the world. And I still believe that this is the only option for the survival of the human race. Everything else leads to violence, suffering and destruction. I don't understand nationalism, I don't vibrate on that string.

I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We're all star stuff', I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all.

I can't agree to war in my mind as the only solution, I can't force myself to hate, I can't believe that weapons, killing, revenge, hatred, that the accumulation of evil will ever be able to solve anything... The punishment prepared for me by my city, my only city, and my theater, i.e. I don't think I deserved the only theater that I considered my own, the punishment they prepared for me, because I did what I think should always be done: believing in people and in our profession, which must unite people, not separate them... Regardless of whether we live in one, five or fifty countries, let us not forget about people, about each one individually, regardless of which side of this Wall of ours the person in question finds himself on... I am sending this letter into the void, into the darkness, not knowing who will read it and how, or in what way it can be abused. It will probably serve as a dam for the eternally hungry propaganda beast. Maybe someone will read it with a pure heart. I will be grateful to such a man.
