“There is a bright side, too. Of all forms of government, democracy is the strongest. Its greatest strength is that it operates under the rule of law, which enables it to correct mistakes peacefully. This correction may not happen quickly or easily, but time is on the side of justice. Given enough time, tempers cool and bitterness subsides. New facts emerge, changing minds.

Yet it is a constant reminder of tragedies like the uprooting, and a warning against repeating them. Human beings can learn from experience. And therein lies hope.”
