Breaking the cycle of violence
By Ed O'Rourke

She/He suggests that true peace is possible not by advanced warfare but by commerce, diplomacy, science, technology, education, international law and human investment.

The most impressive remarks by Ed O'Rourke are:

"An old saying is that you cannot have peace as long as you have injustice."

"World peace can be achieved if there is serious attention to the root cause of conflict and terrorism. A second Marshall Plan for the world's poor will be far more effective than airport security and anti-terrorism measures in reducing the number of desperate people who do desperate things."
