Although, there's also a trend towards having corrupt, but non-foreign villains--at least, in American media.

Because there's so much international communication these days via the internet, I think it's a lot harder for filmmakers and authors alike to exploit xenophobic sentiment.

Can't we all just get along, anyways?

Different values about what is right and wrong in different localities can sometimes make it harder for people to get along.

Elephantine memories for real or imagined slights also make it difficult to get along.

Forgiving one another is imperative for achieving true peace.

Good point; we should extend to others the same grace we have received.

Hopes for restitution of any damage done may help people to forgive a wrong.

I think that there can only be true forgiveness and reconciliation when both parties come together, admit and apologize for any wrongdoings, and earnestly seek to amend it.

Justice can also be served when both parties seek to remedy any wrongdoing.

Kindness and understanding is important as well.

Letting bygones be bygones can help the situation as well.

Man, if only more people looked at it that way.

No reason why we can't encourage people to make a habit of doing that!

Of course, that requires that anyone will listen to us.
