Peace Off

Overheard on BBC radio news as I drove home this evening :

"As the Fatah team left the peace negotiations they came under fire. Two bodyguards were wounded."

I think you could describe a truce as 'fragile' when you've just signed one and the other side are shooting at you as you leave the building.

'Futile' based on past experience.

Basing your safety on the trustworthiness of an Arab is the very definition of "standing on shaky ground".
