Peace on Terror: Master-Plan Earth.
The current war on terror will not end peacefully ever; only efficient non-violent means will bring satisfactory results.
We all have ideas about how our world should be like, what it should look like for us to be happy. But, because such our ideas are usually different from each other, and because of that we all pursue different goals, we never end up with what we truly want, because we try to reconcile our ideas in real life, usually without much success, creating--in real life-- real damage.
We have the means whereby we can start designing and a world in which today's enemies would live in true peace with each other. What needs to be done is to reconcile our ideas _before_ we start doing so (as we normally do) in real life, causing real damages. It would not be necessary to have individuals to present their ideas and those ideas to be judged not by the quality of the ideas about what our peaceful coexistence should be, but, rather, by who the contributers of those ideas are; all that would be needed is to present the ideas themselves, and evaluate those ideas on their own viability.
To reconcile our ideas before we start doing so in real life (causing real damages), in order to come up with a vision of an ideal world that would be agreeable to _everyone_ (not just the majority) , we can use any and all means available-- round-table talks, models (ala SL and any such similar), etc.
Once we know what it would be like for all of us to live in peace, we could start finding ways of achieving a world that we all would like to live in, we would start implementing those ways, and, eventually, we would stop fighting _against_ what we do not want to have in our lives, and focus on what we would _like_ to have in our world.
"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

If we, the people, were really sincere about having real Peace in the world, we would pursue creating Peace by effective peaceful means more actively, rather than relying on our military might!
