Reiteration of praise

Redundant as it may seem, I must reiterate praise for your clarity and depth of understanding the Near East situation. Hopefully the U.S. will understand likewise.

The Arabic term, I read somewhere, means temporary halt for regrouping, for restarting at a later time, with greater force, for stronger results. It does not bode well. It is NOT a truce, a cease-fire preclude for peace.
