Laurel believes that the problems mentioned by the festival organizers are important. But. the festival was intended to twist these legitimate concerns into a propagandistic attack against the United States. Laurel and Erica would not have questioned the motives of the conference organizers if they had dealt with such issues as the environment. labor. immigration. and discriminationproblems faced by many countries. Indeed. these and other issues would probably arise in their conversations with other young people. regardless of the main topic of the conference. But. the organizers intentionally misled those attending the conference by turning attention away from a true quest for peace. focusing instead on U.S. domestic policies and blaming this country for tensions which continue to exist in an imperfect world.
