Conflict resolution and War

Some days ago I came across some videos of Roger Fisher and William Ury two of the most renowned negotiators in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Fisher_(academic)




Is war inevitable? Is it possible to always negotiate peace? When should we stop talking and start acting?

These questions are so important in a world where negotiating peace means to negotiate the survival of humankind. 

Indeed we have enough weapons to blow up the entire planet. But we don't really have enough peace negotiators.


Everybody should have Fisher's and Ury's book Getting to Yes. This book is central in learning the interest-based negotiation skills and to work towards peace.
