Just imagine (if you can): a country that abolished its army and poured the money into education (Costa Rica); an oppressed culture who succeeded in transforming their relationship with their oppressors into a partnership (South Africa); and a living laboratory where the power of peace is the only weapon being used to create peace, liberty and justice for the people of Tibet (People's Republic of China).
