Tom Barrack, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, on the Middle East:

All 57 prophets have been sent to this region. Not to the Caribbean, not to South America, not to North America, not to Australia, not to China — but to this region where resolving its problems seems impossible.

Therefore, if God cannot solve it, and if the prophets cannot solve it, then our idea for solving it in the next year and a half is probably very unlikely.
