Things seem to be back to normal again..

The news is reporting financial data, accidents on the road, the weather and the middle east conflicts (yes, plural).

Here are some problems for the next millennium:
- How to reconcile the differences between the different religions and ensure the world can live peacefully.
- How to stop war in Africa and other hot-spots around the world (is it food, religion or other?)
- Demolishing the digital-divide (can we really use the "Internet" to spread "good" knowledge)
- How to bring developing nations into the future, while maintaining our leadership globally (but with a different tact, so we do not appear to bully people and countries)

I don't know if these problems can even be solved, I know they cannot when viewed from the current perspective ('problems cannot be solved from the same perspective in which they were created'), what is needed to take a fresh look at them and the possible solutions?
