On the 30th anniversary of the Egypt-Israeli Peace Treaty, the widow of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat talks about her new memoir, My Hope for Peace, with Barbara Walters. As a professor, a peace activist and a former first lady, Jehan Sadat has had a front-row seat to the agonizing cycle of progress and setback in the Middle East. In My Hope For Peace, she shares her husbands principles for peace; sets the record straight on the most persistent and prevalent misconceptions about Islam and explains what it really means to be a Muslim woman today. My Hope For Peace is a clarion call for anyone who longs for a brighter future

2. She is right it only takes a few people to cause a lot of damage as we see with the Bush cabal,>

Just 2 sides of different extremes. Most people in the world want peace, whatever faith, region or background. Just a very tiny minority can make that appear not to be true. As one person said very sensibly if 1.2 billion muslims were all terrorists we'd all be dead, just by the math you know it's a tiny amount of people and they must be seen seperate from the peace loving people of the world. As any sane person with all the facts would distance themselves from neocons.
