“I must say, I'm a little envious. If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed. It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks.”

“Some say once gone you're gone forever
And some say you're going to come back.
Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour
If in sinful ways you lack.
Some say that they're coming back in a garden,
Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas.
I think I'll just let the mystery be.”
