During my first visit to Iraq, I spent some time thinking about a framework for helping a country in a situation like Iraq's-- winning hearts and minds isn't always about selling the American Way... sometimes we must find "common denominator" goals that everyone can understand. Safe, moral and productive were consensus principles. We hold "free" as a key principle as well, but other countries do not place the same weight on this one.
I chose "moral" to define one of the tenets, because parents in a Christian community might disagree with certain legal requirements common in Muslim communities. We shouldn't dictate nuances of one religion, but rather foster a secure environment where morality can be upheld. More on this later... essentially, building an environment where businesses, organizations and individuals can thrive is key... "e" for environment, "e" for eWISEinc(TM)....
