In 1969, former Beatle John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono launched the "War Is Over" campaign by buying billboard and poster space in 12 cities around the world. The huge signs read, "WAR IS OVER-- IF YOU WANT IT--HAPPY CRISTMAS, JOHN AND YOKO" The concept is simple-- advertising works. Get a billion people around the world to open their hearts and minds to the possibility of peace. How about for our purpose an ad campaign in Arabic-- quoting a beautiful line from the Quo'ran? What about producing very entertaining Arabic films with a positive message. It is usually the poor of the population that turn to fundamentalism for answers. Children grew up in Palestine, for example in poverty because their government was not taking care of them. Children with nothing to lose became suicide bombers. Had the world chipped in and given them lovely parks, soccer fields and video games it could have reshaped their childhood and their level of joy. Now it costs more in war & anguish.

I would like to see a re-run of 1969! The billboard and posters in 12 cities around the world would help let people see there is a chance for peace.
They wouldn't bother us if we wouldn't bother them FIRST!

there'll not in any respect be peace in the middle East. they're going to proceed to strive against, until eventually Jesus looks on a cloud in the jap Sky to deliver abode His Saints. Then all Hell breaks loose. Russia and Iran alongside with some Muslim international places will attack Israel, then Egypt will take area, The E.U. and Western usa (usa) will connect, and a couple of hundred, million adult males from China will march for the time of the Euphrates River. The horror of issues to ensue is previous the human thoughts.Blood will bypass for 2-hundred miles as intense as a bridle to an horse. you'll want to die yet you isn't able to. at the same time as they say A PEACE/TREATY HAS BEEN SIGNED, THEN search for, FOR the arrival OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. in the journey that your hearts are not from now on top with God, then you fairly will be left in the back of to decide on the help of the Tribulation era. This conflict will very last for seven years, after this time all unsaved human beings and devil will be thrown in the like of fireplace always and ever. an area of no go back! it truly is the position the most suitable conflict between sturdy and evil will be fought, recognize as "The conflict Of Armageddon"

I personally believe that this problem was caused by internal problems rather than things that the world did wrong. The problems within the Arab world are caused by the radicalism, not by any specific region, country, or person for that matter. It has been a growing problem for many years now, and its finally caught the attention of the media who always try to put a specific blame on someone. As for a solution, there is none. The best thing I know to do is pray and work hard to treat our neighbors as we would treat ourselves. There is not anything else we can do.

I think it would take more than a market strategy or a song or a film to solve the middle east problems.
i can tell that the middle east has 2 different problems that create the final picture of misery like you described of poor children and suicide bombers.
first...the internal affairs are horrible cos many people are stone minded selfish fanatics...and the second is due to the foreign policy of some powerful countries...led by the U.S.A affecting the middle east and how it generates more violence other than solving their problems as the U.S policy leaders claim.
so we need to work veeeeeeeeeery hard to deal with those both problems ...otherwise the middle east will sink more and more in poverty ignorance and violence.

There can be no peace in the world until parents are forbid from mutilating their baby's prepuce. It causes segregation of the "haves" and the "have nots". The "have nots" are always bitter and want to take revenge so people will suffer as they do. The cycle of revenge continues.

We need to voice our concerns to our leaders. I have a blog on my 360 entitled Someday at Christmas. This is a link to a site where you can sign petitions for peace. We can make a difference!
