Saturday the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Mohamed ElBaradei and the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA). ElBaradei asked us all to imagine a world where poverty and hatred do not spur violence.
Also Saturday, a dyed-in-the-wool Peacnik died. Eugene McCarthy catalyzed the Vietnam peace movement as no other political figure could. He was outspoken and often divisive, but he wanted a more peaceful world more than anything else and was disgusted with President Bush's "bullying."
On the balance though, peace could not find a better spokesman than ElBaradei.
