Isn't that a nice thought?

We need a Nelson Mandela in the Middle East. Yes, the Mandela mentality. A forgiving nature. The attitude of leaving bygones be bygones. A coming together. To live in reasonable peace and harmony. If that doesn't happen, we end up with mutual annihilation. Killing. Killing. Killing. Wars. Wars. Wars. Retribution. Retribution. Retribution. From time to time, I hear of individual Palestinians and Israelis becoming friends. Respecting each other. Able to live and work side by side. Able to love instead of hate. If a few can do it, why can't the many? If I'm able to love my so-called enemy, then maybe I will no longer have enemies. Isn't that a nice thought? --Jim Broede
