"...War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.
The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of
our fears and prejudices. God gives us the capacity for choice. We can
choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace.
We can make these changes – and we must..." -- former President Jimmy Carter, concluding his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in Oslo, Norway, on December 10, 2002.
