So the people are benefiting from peace, and the underlying reality has changed their lives. The Middle East is not like that. The Palestinian people have yet to enjoy the benefits of peace that have come to the people in Northern Ireland. The violence we've seen does not demonstrate that the quest for peace has gone too far or too fast. It demonstrates what happens when there is no settlement, no resolution.
People have yet to realize concrete benefits.
However, the parties must continue to move forward because they are destined to live next to each other. They have to find a way to resolve these difficult issues so they can live in peace. On the recent news I have seen on Russia and their stockpiling nuclear weapons, like, in an area that is supposed to be under some kind of security or something. Now I have heard it reported that the Russians do not have a handle on that security area at all, and that it would be possible for almost anyone to access this area, and steal or obtain some type of weapons, that in turn could be used against the U.S. or another country. One of the priorities of my administration has been helping Russia and the states of the former Soviet Union cope with their nuclear legacy.
