During the Iraq War, war correspondents simultaneously reported a great number of military events to an audience all over the world. When receiving such a flood of information, we pay too much attention to surface issues and hardly understand the "depth" of the war. What drove people to become enthusiastic for the war? What can we do to reduce the impulse toward violence and to help people understand each other? What are the crucial points for promoting security in the 21st Century? This symposium provides the opportunity for intellectually "diving" from the surface to the depths.
