Certainly the West should repair their relationship with others that have been affected by imperialist policies. But that's not a panacea either. Islamist goals of introducing Sharia are incompatible with Western-style democracy so it may be possible to 'get along' but it won't be as simple as making nice on our side. Of course, we'll only 'get along' right up until the next citizen of a Western democracy draws an image of the Prophet Muhammad.... Likewise there remain nations with aggressive dreams of going above-and-beyond UN convention regarding resource rights, which is obviously incompatible with Western ideals. There remain nations trapped under totalitarian governments strongly opposed to the West. However weak they might be we can't drop our guard completely. So while I agree that the West has some apologies and amends to make I don't agree that would completely solve world peace, and I don't agree that all violence expressed against the West is "our fault".
