he has no answer to your question or mine. My gut says its going to be hard to have peace.


My gut says that opportunities for peace show up rarely, for brief moments & at long intervals. When they do show up, it is imperative for the statesman to a) recognize them and b) seize the chance.

When there is no such opportunity, the statesman must a) recognize the fact and b) not be dragged into throwing his limited assets down the toilet pursuing a mirage. He must not let either his enemies beguile him with false promises nor his own peace-loving soft-headed types pressure him into yielding up concessions that will have only negative returns.
