I am not inclined to forgive, I never forgave our enemies of that time, nor do I feel I can forgive their imitators in Algeria, Vietnam, the Soviet Union, Chile, Argentina, Cambodia and South Africa, because I know no human act that can erase a crime. I demand justice, but I am not able, personally, to trade punches or return the blows.
