What have you done recently in the name of peace?

I heard this statement on the news last night. The reporter used it in the context of stating that U.S. President George W. Bush will be asking Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas this question in the next few days. Of course, anything that emerges from George Bush's mouth is worthy of skepticism ... especially when he is lecturing others on the importance of pursuing peaceful alternatives to conflict ...

Nevertheless, the question is one which should definitely be pondered on a personal level. What have I done recently in the name of peace and justice? What have I done recently to plant seeds of hope where despair is rampant?
