Thoughts of Ishmael
I just read "Memoirs of a Boy Soldier" for an International Problems class in college. When I think of Ishmael my heart aches inside me. The madness of wars like the one that errupted in Sierra Leone feed on themselves, engendering nothing but horror and sadness.

I urge everyone interested in solving the problem of conflicts to visit the United States Institute of Peace online training site to learn about conflict analysis and peacekeeping. It isn't enough, but it is a start.
