The optimist in me is sure hoping he is right. It feels like we are certainly on the verge of ...something. On my reallllllly optimistically good days I see agreements happening and everyone deciding to try to play nice and economies booming rather than bombs; on my regular optimistic days I see agreements happening that no one pays attention to after a few months of semi-calm but maybe a few advances that stick; and on my bad days I see civil war breaking out (there) and our settlers going crazy here and a repeat of 2002. I'm in a realllly optimistic day today thanks to your consultation with Yoda :)
