Differences should not be papered over to obtain cordiality of intercourse but hairsplitting for the sake of itself is madness. A small quote below from Eric Weislogel's thought provoking article at Global Spiral.
"If a state of peace worthy of the name, firm and enduring, is to be established one day among the peoples of the world, this will depend not only upon the economic, political and financial arrangements reached by diplomats and statesmen, nor will it depend solely upon the juridical building up of a truly supra-national co-ordinating organism endowed with efficient means of action; it will depend also upon the deep adherence of men’s consciousness to practical principles like those I have recalled"
