Your appointment was a hopeful sign that has been underestimated and ignored. Your American education, your time working in the United States; the fact that your government has placed you to negotiate with all manner of foreign governments with the background that you have is a offer of potential reconciliation that is in effect every day, whether that is recognized or not.
I think it's worth asking how free you are to say your true thoughts at all times. I'm sorry if my asking that question presents you with a difficulty; the paradox is that I have the opposite intention.
