I think my last post may have been a bit opaque when I said that we must stop fighting the war to win it. By that I meant, as war is redefined, winning must be redefined as well. I hate the expression "hearts and minds" (sorry Jesse) reminds me of Red Dawn. But, conceptually, I think it's on the right track.
Fundamentally, we face a situation that internationalization was bound to lead to: different morality codes coming face to face. (Funny, I was actually just thinking about that as a key aspect of international business that doesn't seem to ever come up.) But I don't think that an end to the war (if not the hostilities) requires that we understand each other. I think that it first requires that we accept that different morality codes exist, and that we can't rely on "human nature" because what we think is human nature is actually how we've been socialized.
