In order to get rid of the undesirable results of our actions, we have to take a good hard look at the kind of thinking that lead to the actions in the first place.

What causes a person to fear or hate what is different or not understood.  What dilludes a nation into believing it's ok to overcome another?  What drives men to kill?

Putting a band-aid on the cut doesn't work. Doesn't last.  You've got to stop inflicting the wound.  You've got to stop wanting to pull the trigger.
