It will indeed take very brave individuals on both sides for peace to be achieved. After all these years of violence it is going to be very hard for many of the participants to accept peace because it diminishes the "value" of what they have done for decades, i.e., if war was the only possible solution, then peace could not be an outcome. It is similar to the people here who refuse to accept that the Iraq invasion was was a mistake because then the soldiers died in vain.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom! K&R for peace.
