Palestinian and Israeli leaders finally recover the Road Map to Peace, only to discover that, while they were looking for it, the Lug Nuts of Mutual Interest came off the Front Left Wheel of Accommodation, causing the Sport Utility Vehicle of Progress to crash into the Ditch of Despair.

About This Quote

The Road Map to Peace is a set of goals developed by the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in 2003. The plan was to create two states on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with each sharing control over such areas as borders, settlements, and Jerusalem. At this point, both sides have agreed that they want peace, but not so much on how to get there. We all know that no one succeeds without work and effort. However, if we keep looking for shortcuts and trying to find ways of getting around the roadblocks, we will never find success.
