does anyone know what the japanese word for *peace* is? ive tried google...it didnt work. thanks! (link)

I'm going to vote for 'heiwa.' Although, wahei is very similar; they're identical except that the order of the kanji is reversed, which is confusing to my little (non-japanese-speaking ;p) mind.
和 わ (n) (1) sum; (2) harmony; peace; 'wa' (probably not this one)
平和 へいわ (adj-na,n) peace; harmony; 'heiwa'
和平 わへい (n,vs) peace; 'wahei'
I also found that 和平プロセス 'wahei purosesu' means 'peace process,' which combined with the fact that it has a one-word definition makes me want to lean toward 'wahei,' but the first person to reply may very well have greater knowledge of the language. Kyuui can also mean 'peace, tranquility' but it has several hominyms with different kanji:
球威 きゅうい (n) (pitcher's) stuff; 'kiyuui'
旧衣 きゅうい (n) worn-out clothes 'kiyuui'
休意 きゅうい (n,vs) peace; tranquility; 'kiyuui'
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html is a handy japaneseenglish dictionary. It seems to work best with the 'exact word match' box checked.
