Why is there a need to bring several people from each side together? There isn't such a need. In the end it doesn't produce anything. The issues separating certain groups of people are far larger than some people think. It isn't an issue of I hate you and you hate me and if we just realized that we are both humans we won't hate each other and we would all live in peace. That is a childish view of world affairs. There are large and complex forces keeping certain peoples apart that no person to person individual contact can change. Any relationship between citizens of two warring countries is just bound for tragedy. Only when the complex issues are solved can true and lasting friendships between individuals of the two countries can be maintained.
