Peaceful Warrior with Robert Fuller, Ph.D.

As the founder of the Mo Tzu Project, Bob Fuller travels the planet as a citizen diplomat, searching out the roots of conflict in the hope of learning what can be done to make peace a reality, not just a dream. He has the rare ability to cut through the usual rhetoric we hear, and reveal, clearly and concisely, perspectives that often are so basic and simple we cannot imagine why they aren't more widely accepted. Here he shares his original views of South Africa as a "mirror" to the rest of the world. Additionally he provides a wealth of refreshing insights about the world situation, so often seen as bleak and hopeless. (hosted by Michael Toms)
