"The past few years have been an age of miracles.


Unimaginable events, consummations devoutly wished for but never really expected, have succeeded one another as if the Creator had whistled up a new world.

The Berlin Wall tumbles. The Soviet empire melts away. Nelson Mandela, free at last, begins to bring democracy to black South Africans.

Now comes what must be considered one of the greatest miracles of all:

the first acknowledgement by Israelis and Palestinians that they can share the land both call home."

TIME magazine October 1993

"Suddenly, a season of peace seems to be warming the world. The last few months have seen five bitter and protracted conflicts brought suddenly closer to peaceful resolution. In the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Central America, populations stunned and bleeding by endless regional war look up and hope. Rarely have so many such wars seemed to be drawing to a close at once. Is the world doing something right? Or is the coincidence of peace as uncontrollable as some favorable conjunction of its planets?"

New York Times 1988

"And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation. Neither shall they learn war any more."
