On the fifth anniversary of September 11th, we devote today's pages to peace. Over the weekend, five former Russian republics pledged to forever remain nuclear-weapon-free. The UN's top humanitarian official spent a restful night in a Ugandan camp for displaced people Saturday, and peace activists called on the White House to intervene diplomatically with Khartoum as the Darfur region stands at the crossroads of war and peace. All those stories are in today's news section.

In analysis, Kumi Naidoo looks back at what he and other civil society leaders said in the aftermath of September 11th, 2001 and wonders how the world would be different if global leaders had heeded the people's calls. In features we discover poems for peace from around the world, and Conn Hallinan reports on the current state of the Israeli peace movement. Finally, in the action alert section, a 9/11 widower offers us all a chance to combat terror by exporting hope, and we highlight a massive meditation for peace coming up on Gandhi's birthday.
