The Arc
The arc A Formal Structure for a Palestinian State produced by the Rand Corporation. It is a giant leap in the right direction into finding a peaceful solution in the Palestinian-Israeli crisis. It is a ten year plan to develop the West Bank one day connecting it to Gaza. It addresses many of the problems the people of Palestine face in forming a viable state. Only with a prospers Palestinian society that resembles the society of the State of Israel will the people of both societies have any real security.
They spent more than 3 million dollars and four years in the development of this plan. It is a thirty-three billion dollar plan over ten years that addresses the Palestinian issues of transportation, housing, education, commerce, justice and the contiguity of the State of Palestine. It is a very comprehensive plan creating a clear image of a much better way of life for the Palestinian people. Restoring their dignity and hope for a better future for their children is the best first steps towards peace.

There is no way to peace, peace is the way. The Arc is the way for long term peace to become a reality in the Palestinian/Israeli crisis. The challenges are to make the Arc a reality that more people can see, as well as working out the full implementation of the Arc’s plan. The earlier more people get behind a plan like the Arc the sooner it could become a reality. Everyone should write to their elected representatives letting them know about the Arc and your support of the plan. Who could not support such a plan of a way to peace as the arc. Global Crier

We are working for peace and development and you are also with economic,
happy to know about your institution, keep it up, We can be a partner in

I would like to quote your Institute for your definition of peace which was based on your research. I only saw it just now July 2, 2010 in your blog at http://www.internationalpeaceandconflict.org/profiles/blog/show?id=780588%3ABlogPost%3A263660&xgs=1&xg_source=msg_share_post
For academic purposes, I would like to reference you properly. Hence, I would like to ask in which publication (book, monograph, journal article) did your definition (first?) appear. As you know, for an academic or research paper, I need to reference the source properly. Of course your blog is fine, but academic journals and other publications prefer more "reputable" printed hardcopy sources such as published books, etc. I look forward to your response. Thank you!
Several months ago, I submitted an application for the 2010 Justice Makers Competition. In doing so, I joined a global community of legal aid lawyers, policemen, and NGO officers that had proposed solutions for curbing torture and legal abuse on a local level.
Last month, I received word that my application was one of a handful of proposals to be named a JusticeMakers Finalist. With your assistance, I now have a shot at winning $5,000 to implement my idea.
Here's how you can help.
1. Register for www.justicemakers.net.
2. Login and click "Browse Finalists" on the left hand side of the page.
3. Browse my JusticeMakers username WAHEED, and click on it.
4. Click on the orange "Rate Me" icon that appears on the top of the page.
5. Read a short summary of my proposal and rate my project.
(Preferably with five stars.)
That's it! If on May 10th I have the highest average rating of any project, I'll win the $5,000 to implement my project. :)
Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you in advance for your help.
Please ask your friends too for vote
