Why Women are the Real Architects of Peace

by Dr. Judith Rich, Huffington Post, USA - While much criticism has been leveled at the Nobel committee's selection of our president as the recipient of this award, I think the committee's award choice was intended to serve a larger purpose than just the acknowledgment of a single human's efforts. Obama has a golden opportunity to take a huge step in that direction by issuing an executive order establishing a Department of Peace with a cabinet level Secretary of Peace as its head, and perhaps even by appointing a female as our peacemaker-in-chief.
