You're right about Carter, too. He is one of the people who really does work for peace. I suppose I basically agree with you. You’re right about Carter, too.

But, yes, I do believe the word "peace" must be used in the wider sense -- it means more than the absence of war. Anybody who exerts great effort for international humanitarian causes can be said to be working for global peace, as far as I can see. About Jimmy Carter, by the way, I know about his homebuilding, but it seems to me the Carter Center is specifically dedicated to international affairs. Bill, that’s a good point.

In your previous post, all the examples you gave were people who were tackling major problems, but not actually tackling war. Unless you figure they may achieve peace as a biproduct of their activities. Bono is trying to fight AIDS and starvation, which is an excellent goal. Jimmy Carter is helping to provide homes for people; another great pursuit. But who is actually working on peace? Here’s the thing.
