Donor communities invest billions funding peace talks and disarmament. Then they stop. The most important part of postwar help is missing: providing basic social services to people. Not having those resources might have been a reason men went to war in the first place; they crossed a border and joined an armed group because they didn't have jobs. In Liberia right now, there are hundreds of thousands of unemployed young people, and they're ready-made mercenaries for wars in West Africa. You'd think the international community would be sensible enough to know they should work to change this. But they aren't.","author":"Leymah Gbowee","tags":["culture","displacement","international-aid","international-relations","peace","postwar","relief-work","resource-allocation","social-services"],"id":18080,"author_id":"Leymah+Gbowee"},{"text":"We essentially had to build a docking mechanism between the two capsules.

When we decide that we will import products from China that are produced by people earning less than a dollar an hour, and grant their country most-favored-nation status (political contributions notwithstanding), we are deciding to make American workers who must earn the minimum wage compete with them. I am not suggesting that we close the doors to China or to Mexico, but I am suggesting that we look very carefully at the web of international relationships that we are creating. At the very minimum, we should understand that we have two choices in our country: we can raise world living standards by exporting those standards, or we can lower living standards- not only the world’s but also our own- by deciding that it is acceptable for the products of exploited labor to enter this country.","author":"Julianne Malveaux","tags":["international-relations","poverty","quality-of-life","work"],"id":24153,"author_id":"Julianne+Malveaux"},{"text":"Bringing countries together above their conflicts require great minds and great hearts.","author":"Amit Ray","tags":["bringing-together","conflict","conflicts","great-heart","great-mind","heart","heart-and-head","heart-and-soul","international-community","international-conflict","international-relations","world-peace"],"id":27862,"author_id":"Amit+Ray"},{"text":"Nation has to be proud of itself to move forward.It should be clear that as long as India does not stand-up, there will be no peace in Asia.","author":"Vikram Singh Slathia","tags":["india","international-relations","political"],"id":36117,"author_id":"Vikram+Singh+Slathia"},{"text":"It is a tragedy, at rate at which EBOLA VIRUS is spreading in West Africa.
