Every single individual that makes up the 6 billion population of the world is different. I think the main aspect that humanity needs to focus on is like Shakespeare said, "Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so".
Yes there need to be rules. Yes Israel should NOT be bombing the Gaza strip right now -they should be stopped, they should be made accountable, but according to rational, objective, international, inforced laws, that are based on everyones general wellbeing.
I think it's got to the rediculous point where no-one should live in the Gaza strip and it should be just blotted out of existance. Like a toy being taken away from two spoilt, disrespectful, inconsiderate children for not being able to share because that is how rediculuous they are behaving! Except in this case innocent people with their own individual potentials are being murdered.
If Israel and Palestine where children, what would be done? That is part of the problem, there are as many answers for that as there are people in the world.
So, world peace...? Only if people can learn to see past their own lives and realise that globalisation is here to stay and that having consideration and thought for someone next door that you see every day should be the same consideration you give to people living thousands of miles away from you with completely different perspectives from your own, reguardless of race, creed and especially religion. It's just getting stupid now, we do after all live in the 21st century. How long do we allow ourselves to keep on making the same mistakes.
