The impact of Sadat's speech, 40 years later

The Egyptian president said he incurred the risk of the trip, including the prospect of condemnation from fellow Arabs, to spare his brothers another destructive war with Israel; James Rosen has the story for 'Special Report.'

This man was the only real chance we had at ending the bloodshed forever. Now that chance has gone by the wayside, but his memory shall not be in vain. We remember.

What a great leader president Sadat was. His loyalty to king of Iran will never be forgotten by Persians

To be honest, I love sadat, he is always laughing and smiling, 💓

It is Unfortunate that he had to sacrifice himself as people were not ready for peace.

Sane men at a insane time. Not much different than today

Even if he created that peace, it would have not lasted, israel needs to sacrifice their love for the settlements, and give up the West Bank, and clearly they don’t wanna do that, soo even if the peace was done it would have not lasted
