We can build better walls, we can develop better bombs, but person by person, we can learn to build peace bridges that span the length of the world. Conservatives will say this is impossible because the reality is that they don't want to give up their walls or their bombs.

Borders
       
WALL 1: Photographs of the peace walls in Belfast Northern Ireland,that separate Loyalist and Republican neighborhoods. In 30 years not one wall has come down. Information about the history of the conflict.
WALL 2: Photographs of the security barrier in Israel/Palestine 2005
Map and information about route of the security barrier.
WALL 3: Photographs of the border between Mexico and the United States. The United States gives billions of dollars in foreign aid every year. The most direct and helpful foreign aid to the neighboring countries of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua would be to grant conditional amnesty to the estimated 12 million undocumented workers in the United States and set up a guest worker program for these countries. I have the utmost respect for the Border Patrol and the way they do their job.
