Down below I made a couple of typos that come out looking pretty 
ridiculous. I would like to correct them:

On the fifth line of the first paragraph, it should read:"and hopefully

On the ninth line of the second paragraph, it should read: "make all 
efforts to unite its people..."

I apologize for the mistakes.
