Aung San Suu Kyi on Peace and its Threats

Burmese activist and politician Aung San Suu Kyi focuses on peace and makes a compelling case for eradicating things that undermine it.  But because of the complex web that defines many aspects of our humanity, we can focus on any one of those things - discrimination, inequality or poverty - and argue that the rest represent root causes.  Throw in conflict, disease and disenfranchisement, and that complex web is much more than a Molotov Cocktail: It is a conflagration that affects all of humanity.
