This article could be 10 years old and we could substitute Clinton for Bush. Fast forward 4 years and do the same.
Point is. Same countries, same problems, no resolution to any of them.
We expect countries like these to just stop what they are doing because we negotiate in good faith. Sorry it doesn't work that way. These cultures are thousands of years old and they perceive time a lot differently than Americans. We rush rush rush. We want action now. Their societies don't work that way. Thousands might die in the meantime but it doesn't matter.
Here is a great article on how man perceives time.
