Oscar Romero on peace

■"Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty."

It is this "good of all" which means that in the Middle East there can only be real peace when the aspirations and good of Jew and Palestinian are bothe taken equally seriously. It is the failure of politicians to address this that leaves them condemned in the eyes of God!
