My Palestinian friend Amar* often talks about how he wants to create change and work toward peace in his region, as well as in the world. Recently, he shared this inspirational story with me and he asked me to share it. Just because political peace talks are collapsing, does not mean that personal talks have to do the same.

President Bush was quick to point out the law's economic benefits to the U.S. economy, while its larger effect on international nuclear law has been fundamentally ignored. This law will undermine the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the regulations of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), while damaging American credibility as it attempts to curtail proliferation in Iran. Sensible attempts to carry out the "war on terror" will escape damage only because they do not exist.
