Ending the Middle East Problem and other conflicts

There is a simple way to end the war in Iraq, the violence in the Middle East and elsewhere.

The entities of the Planet Burgone learned this life lesson eons ago by observing a species of insects on their world. (Your philospher Thoreau learned his own lessons from watching ants!) These insects, known as Krembles, are flying hunters much like your Terran Dragonfly. The Krembles are individual insects that hunt and devour other insects around them. They also have the habit of landing and resting on the skin of warm blooded animals.

Ninty-nine percent of the time, when a Kremble lands on a Burgonite, nothing happens. The insect inspects the surface for a moment or two, then flies away. Surprisingly, Butgonites do not slap or shoo away the Kremble. Nor do the less intelligent animals on Burgone bother a Kremble that lands on them.

Why? When a female Kremble mates, she needs to ingest the fluids from a warm animal to complete the fertilization process of her eggs. But unlike your mosquito which leaves an itching bump and carries diseases, the female Kremble's bite leaves a gift - an antiviral/health serum that is a powerful cure-all for most diseases inflicting the Burgone people and animals. A great boon, except for that rare occassion, about once in 1,000,000,000 bites, when the injected serum causes death!

After living with the Krembles for thousands of years, the Burgonites one day realized that the insects were showing them a peacful way to live. They had learned tolerance by allowing the Krembles to land on their bodies unmolested. Now when Burgonites are together, they went about their business respectfully ignoring each other. This is how humans act when they shop at the grocery store, politely tolerating other shoppers as they gather food.

The Burgonites learned to help each other as the Kremble helped them with its curative bites. And they discovered that death can come even from the best of intentions, but that does not keep you from being tolerant and helping others.

Simply put, can you and your leaders learn to act with respect for others. To give a gift when the time is right. To forgive the damage when interactions with other humans causes harm... IF you can do this individually, then collectively, the World Peace that occured on Burgone can be yours as well.
