I started the Tsuru Project in 2005 in which the goal was to send 1000 paper cranes to TPTB. According to Japanese lore, when one makes 1000 paper cranes, his/her wish is granted. As a Lexana fan, naturally, my wish was to have TPTB give Lex and Lana their story. As of now, I have only sent Al and Miles 307 cranes, with 300 cranes sent to them in January 2006.
Lex and Lana finally came into fruition in the latter part of Season 5 for which many Lexana fans are very thankful. However, since Hydro things began to change. Lexana fans were already expecting that If TPTB listened to 250 letters and as a result propelled the abrupt 180s we are seeing right now, then I think it is time that TPTB hear our side of the story.
With renewed enthusiasm, I would like to expand the mission of the Tsuru Project to include the hopes and wishes of our fellow comrade-in-arms, the Clois fanbase. While the show has said time and time again that they will maintain the DC restrictions, the Clois fans would like to see the steady progression to Clark's destiny towards his future love Lois, instead of the back-and-forth and stagnation associated with Clana. In a few episodes this season, we have seen how Lana is truly an impediment to Clark's future of being the superhero of comic book lore.
Furthermore, I would like to use this project to be a gesture of peace and good will. About 700 paper cranes remain to be made to complete the total of 1000 cranes. Half of these cranes will be sent to TPTB and the other half will be sent to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Japan where the cranes will reside with other cranes that have been made by people from all over the world. This is to honor the memory of Sadako Sadaki who, with her 1000 paper cranes, moved the world with her story of hope and message of peace. The significance of Sadako's story has never been more relevant now given the growing concern of WMD proliferation/terrorism in the world today.
So, let your hopes and wishes take off and fly!
Let's GO FORWARD.

There can be no peace without disarmament and destruction of terrorists groups such as Hamas, Islamist jihadists, and sanctions against countries that support terrorist activities.
I agree with you. But we need to find "creative" (for lack of a better term) ways to disarmament and eliminate terrorism. We have to get to the root of the problem. Why do people arm? Why are these groups resorting to terrorism?
There have been many innovative solutions, even unilateral agreements (that don't get better than that) placed on the table, but major powers who have more influence in setting the international agenda have consistently utilized the staples of national power and foreign policymaking. In some cases sanctions work, but with more persistent states, it will devolve into a game of chicken. Like what we are seeing with Iran, it has been emboldened by international criticism over its ongoing enrichment activities.
If anything, I am a firm believer or actually talking to the other, face-to-face.
