There are constituents on all sides who would rather talk with. guns or missiles but many more tired of the continuous bloodshed.<BR/>Like the environmental issues in our country and around the world, change for the better takes a long time and much personal sacrifice. In the Middle East, it's extraordinarily hard to change the hatred and habits of many centuries but I believe we all know what is possible if we only talk through using force.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
