"Peace in our Time" was the famous quote from Neville Chamberlain, the English Prime Minister before WWII. He made this quote after returning from a meeting with Hitler. Hitler "promised" to stop being aggresive (I believe the talks concerned the Sudetenland). Shortly after this statement, Hitler invaded anyway.

The statement has become synomymous with appeasement.

Humble suggestion: put "Peace in our time" in quotes. Might save you a flaming or two. :)
