The Problem:
war prevention

The Social Invention:
Before the 2003 US-Iraq conflict, the desperate Iraq government made a remarkable suggestion: that the US president and the Iraq president contact a long-distance televised debate. These days of global communications allow a great opportunity to delay the total breakdown of intelligent communication that typically precedes war.

Televised discussions between leaders of nations facing an impending conflict, could be one small measure to help dissolve the childish black and white thinking that leads to predjudice, hostility and violence.
