Changing The Cultural Dynamic: Winning Friends Instead of Going to War

I wanted to share this idea with my friends...

Part of the profits of the new book, "Taking Back America: The Guide..."
will be directed towards the Global Learning Project.

The idea of the Global Learning Project came to me nearly five years ago.

It was seeded by the fact that while America is very good at supporting War, it is very bad at supporting the people.

As a result of our inattention, we have failed to seize the hearts and minds of the people.

Imagine what we could have done if we had concerned ourselves with the education of the Palestinians when they were in the camps instead of supplying other Muslims with weaponry?

Of course, the military industrial establishment would not want to hear of salvaging the peace when they get so much a bullet, so much per gun...

Here is a very simple idea I came up with to change the status quo and had we done it years ago, we might not be losing our best and brightest in insane warfare.

My concept is that education and learning changes the way people think.

I've discovered that there is a hunger for learning in most of the world; only there is so much poverty that most cannot afford to go to school or while they are in school, afford up to date books.

In Afghanistan, alone, the response of the women to having books--some for the first time--opened my eyes to some possibilities.

What I would like to do is to arrange to have nonpolitical classics and other books shipped to the middle east in French, English, Arabic...

To do this, many booksellers maintain overstocks and would be pleased to unload them--even in some cases at little or no cost.

Our organization will serve as a middle man, joining forces with book publishers and encouraging them to do their part for international understanding...

Our job will identify the fledgling schools and begin with them in India, Afghanistan, Jordan, Syria and other middle eastern and southeast Asian areas... As part of our arrangement, we will ask the school or the individuals to pass the book along after reading it to others who could benefit.

In this way, we hope to build a bridge of understanding.

However, it takes money to launch this project which I don't have so when money comes in we will start up a nonprofit and see what books we can arrange to get distributed.
Hopefully, as a friend of Peter Mayer, the former Chairman of Penguin Publishing, I will get some help in this endeavor and I will call on others who might play a roll to become our honory directors.

If you are interested and would like to support this work, please let me know.

I will of course be thankful for any and all support to help build understanding around the world.
