In a situation where both sides have killed countless people over an issue, yes a lot must be resolved, but these are just words. The only thing really hurt here is pride. Pride can heal very quickly without needing to actually DO anything. Yes, I submit that the source is the personalities of the people here, but when I say "just make peace" that entails changing those negative and argumentative personality traits. Hence in this case, it should be enough.
Understand my position. If we concentrate on everything OTHERS have done to hurt you constantly, what good does it do? Saying "yeah I know I should back down but THAT GUY is just so insufferable!" helps no one. Rather, concentrate simply on your own problems and if everyone does that then peace can be achieved very easily. Pfft, the way I talk about it makes it seem like a big deal, but really eveyrone just needs to see their own flaws (IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT!) and work on those. In the past, I became very argumentative. I have tried to fix that and I think I've made progress. Now everyone else post their issues they need to fix like some AA meeting and don't drag anyone else into it in the progress.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
