I believe we are on the edge of a quantum leap into a whole new way of organizing and living as a human family.

We have really got to create a culture in our world today where we recognize that every human life is sacred and precious and we have no right to take another human life.

In Northern Ireland, people said there would never be a solution. But once people begin to have the political will and force their governments to sit down, it can happen.

The fact is that the American government and NATO have destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan. Their next targets will be Syria and Iran.

We need political leadership that will move the world away from war into solving its problems through dialogue and negotiation, to build friendship with people, which is not what we've had with this war on terror.

Once we link up and network, there will be new institutions, new beginnings, and a change in the economy because capitalism is destroying many people's lives. It's just one leap to think in a different way.

We have to start from the fact that there are always alternatives to violence.
