True peace comes from understanding. Lets say there is a person I dont get along with. I start to buy them Lunch everyday. Well, this will create an uneasy truce, but it wont buy me respect or freindship.
Only when we UNDERSTAND eachother's differences and they us, will we have true Peace. When i was in the middle east in '83, I learned real fast they were very different in how they see things. Money means very little to them. That is why we haven't had any offers on that 50 million bounty on Osama. We have a different value system. Where most Americans would sell gramdma down the river for a million, other cultures value loyalty far more than any price. When we UNDERSTAND how to win the trust of other cultures we will have true peace.
