I accept your friend request on iPeace and am pleased by what I am reading about your call for a "hands off Libya" and cultural diversity. Indigene Community www.indigenecommunity.info provides 'indigenous' (Latin = 'self-generating') approaches to community inclusion through Human Resource time-based accounting (Extending our Welcome, Participatory Cohousing), collaborative research methodologies and conflict resolution (Both sides Now, equal time recorded dialogue). If everyone on earth has a right to 'debate' (French 'de' = 'undo' + 'bate' = 'the fight') and to publish the recordings of the debate in media for any contentious issue, then there is no desire for arms and war. We see peace as a whole economic cycle of developing personal and community inclusion and welcome.
