Just a quick aside: is the Guardian considered a reputable news source?
Since I have never been to your land, a comparison to the BBC would be
helpful for me since I do have some sense where they fall into place.

So I guess one could say that these people live either actually at war, or
in a de facto state of war, with one another. Sad. Personally, I blame the
intractable, blood-soaked leaders of both sides.

The only smart thing I heard anyone say about this situation lately was on a
TV the other day, someone said something like: "These people will be living
together for a long time -- they can live together at war or in peace."

The reality is that one can apply that statement to the global scene.  The
world is not becoming a larger place.
