Hi, Cheryl;)

As I have commented elsewhere, this is a powerful series on an important topic.

I am overwhelmed by the richness of this post and plan to study it further as I have time.  From the historical perspective to the corporate experience to the very personal and individual, you have really "done your homework" on this one.

What we should take away is that conflict exists on many levels, and the ability to resolve conflict and create peace resides within us ... but must be applied in those different levels.

One additional resource I might mention is "Just Peacemaking:  Ten Practices for Abolishing War" edited by Glen Stassen.  I was introduced to this small but powerful collection through an adult Christian Formation class years ago.  It provides an in-depth look at the global incidence of war and identifies some of the drivers which must be addressed.  I have a feeling that some of the content could apply to corporate environments as well.

Thanks for a solid contribution to making our planet a little more pleasant.

John
