Communication is the only way
April 3, 2002 - 08:30 AM

Dear friends,

The best way to reduce hatred is to increase communications between people. Not only people at war with each other, but between people at peace and people who are the victims of war -- the refugees of the world.

Perhaps some kind of communication program can be set-up to introduce young people in countries at relative peace to young people in refugee schools around the world.

Through understanding of the consequences of war for people at peace, and understanding of the benefits of peace for people at war.. maybe, little by little the world can become a better place...

... Any thoughts?

Be well,

though i find it quite impractical (coz you cant change world politics) it sure is a great idea.
infact, all the youth/cultural exchanges we have between various countries are ment for this reason, for people to know about each others culture.
