ByaKaya, I see what you are saying about the West's culpability in this- however, the West is not alone in closemindedness or violence- look at China, Korea, Vietnam and Japan, and you'll find a deep prejudice and selfishness central to the political climate in the East as well.

Thanks for the link- what an interesting goal and philosophy! However, I'd like to think we would not have to delude ourselves in order to realise true understanding- so tell me how real progress is unrealistic?

Untenable from cetain viewpoints yes, but impossible in terms of potential? I don't see it.
