To water the seeds of peace, we need to recognize the humanity on all sides of this conflict and work to create a framework of peace that acknowledges the truths of two distinct narratives.

Women's rights (which are, in fact, human rights) will never rise from a corrupt, fundamentalist government. We need to be supporting the voices of women to nurture change in Afghanistan.

I looked at the faces in the small room and heard the voices and realized that this is war. This is why people kill each other. It was fear.

I remember big, white-teeth grins, laughter, especially from the kid in the white hoodie. He was laughing as he swung and connected with my cheekbone and I went down.

Based on the zeal with which the media jumped on the non-story of Clinton's speech in Jerusalem, it is hard to avoid the impression that a lot of people are more interested in seeing Obama fail than succeed.

In the 1990s, when we came together, we only did it at the behest of the White House, and Israeli and Palestinian leaders on the White House lawn validated the effort. This time is different.

To be free and vulnerable with the one you love the most is to risk. What if by speaking up, you lose the approval of your loved one? What if you rock what is an otherwise comfortable boat?

Either we fight it as it is appearing, or we mourn for it as it passes us by, but we are hardly ever at peace with change.

I have a proposition; let's all consider ourselves eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize, and focus internally on bringing peace to our surroundings.

For the Palestinians, there is still no real leadership, no one who speaks for all of them, and no one who can get them the state they so desperately want. This must change.

Peace is an energy that's in harmony with all things, even when we are not aware of it. It's present in each and every circumstance. Even in a disturb...

We are frustrated, as a people, by cold, impersonal logic, by being excluded, and by criticism and lack of appreciation. We value self-determination, and we irritate others by being overly emotional and moralistic.

The emanation of peace by any one person is a boon to us all. When that person is the leader of the most powerful and sometimes the most dangerous nation in the world, that boon is magnified exponentially.

Last Friday I went to hear a keynote address from Iran's only Nobel Peace Laureate, Dr. Shirin Ebadi. I was blown away.

The vitriol against Obama's peace prize and "those Norwegians" who gave it to him is much deeper than the president's lack of achievements thus far; it is based on a fundamental clash of worldviews.

Life on Earth will survive because of the visions of humans like Barack Obama. If you'd rather just complain, that's your right, but get out of the way while the rest of us get it done.

It's no wonder that the Nobel Committee would want to encourage an embattled U.S. president who is trying to do the right thing. After eight years of recklessness, there's a lot of catch-up to do.

The Nobel Committee's puzzling decision to award President Obama with the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize inspired me to return to Ecclesiastes.

I never thought of Peace as a word that was moveable.

Having the world suddenly respect us is just too big a burden to bear--and the Republicans for one, want nothing to do with such things.

We're witnessing what research psychologists call a "contrast" effect, occurring in a grand way in an unlikely place -- the Nobel Prize Committee.
