A month ago, the country seemed to be moving toward peace.

The truth was that my country seemed far away at the moment.

It is especially difficult when your country seems not to appreciate you.

No other country in the world seems to do it.

Indeed, for the time being, the small country of 5 million seems to have more pressing problems to deal with.

Perhaps just as important, the country at large seems to accept the idea.

There seemed no great country nor city of the old world or the new in which she had not been.

This is a fact these countries now seem to ignore.

Even today, the country does not seem to have quite adjusted to the idea.

"Other countries seem to be willing to do more about that than we are."
