"Peace" is the Key Word

Given that our world has increasingly fissured along cultural and religious lines during the past 20 years, I don't think it's insignificant that the leader of the world's most powerful nation has shown through his attitude and actions that he is intent upon drawing us closer. He has emphasized the role of multilateral talks among rival nations seeking solutions that have the good of all people, not only Christian Americans, in mind. As long as the word "Muslim" remains a slur in parts of Christendom, and "Christian" the same in the Islamic world, we will have work to do. Let this award represent the overwhelming global hope for peace. It means less about Barack Obama and a lot more about the American people and our responsibility to foster that peace.

Can't we work together on this?
