...response, karynnj.

I agree with what you have said, especially your first sentence about the situation worsening. My understanding is that demographic changes in the area are part of the reason the window for a solution is rapidly closing. While Hillary Clinton did some amazing work, this issue has not improved since 2008. The fact that this responsibility has now been immediately given to our new SOS, reinforces for me that President Obama is making this priority #1.

I have to go out this morning, but will add more thoughts to this later...
