testifying before a congressional committee about the U.S. war in Afghanistan. |

I keep hearing simplistic
solutions for the nation’s and the world’s problems that are based on the idea that those Others need to get their
act together, that we should shut out or eliminate people who aren’t like us, or force them to conform to our idea of
what is right and responsible. All we have to do, they say, is to raise up a
strong leader to save us from the unwashed and unenlightened that threaten us from every side. Once I believed that
this could happen, but then I grew up. Every act of love is an act of peace, no matter how small.
- Mother Teresa Click here to for info on our recent past activities.
