The peace process, for instance, could almost be classed as moving in a reverse direction, into negative equity. Its movement, currently in retrograde motion as far as any real progress can be discerned, reflects a stalemate continually at odds with the best interests of all those involved. Breaking through so long established a barrier has been the constant dream of many administrations and countless people. Whether or not this might done by fair means or foul does not dispel aspirations to achieve some marked degree of finality in the matter.
