19. You aren't kidding

with that last sentence, Enthusiast. One of the reasons I've not minded reading it so many times over the years. I really love how he lends voice, through his characters, to the many perspectives in this particular area of such great conflict across the centuries.

So much pain there for so long, and too many, on all sides, who are too married to the past and still so immutably attached to their own ideologies, to embrace taking steps even some of the smallest steps necessary to bring about peaceful resolution.

Michener makes so obvious the reasons it's been impossible to find peaceful solutions, or how unlikely it is that there ever will be any sufficient to satisfy all involved.
