EXCERPT:
MAHER: “It’s fine with me if this is where it stays as far as damage done. I think it's unrealistic to ever expect anything—any great endeavor not to cost lives. The Civil War was a great endeavor and it cost 600K lives at a time when that was a hefty percentage of the population.” “I'm not saying this is on that level, but I'm saying it's if it could transform the Middle East, which has been one of our biggest problems in my entire life... It could be a great thing.”
