With recent events in Iraq causing worldwide outrage, President Bush has called on the Peace Corps to "take on the important job of spreading peace and freedom and liberty throughout the world." John Kerry says "The Peace Corps is the most powerful symbol of non-military service in our history. If there was ever a time when everyday people in the most deprived countries, cities and villages of the world need to see idealistic Americans working to help them, it is today, when we are engaged in a struggle to win the hearts and minds of people everywhere."
