Actually, Chile was the first to use Truth & Reconciliation in 1990 after the devastation wrought by Pinochet & company. Most of the earlier ones which had different names but same ends were the result of political conflict.  While S.A. was political also, it was dealing with the effects of apartheid in which the minority white suppressed the majority black population. It is this model which would speak closest to US's unresolved racial conflict, IMO.  The US is not prone to a national dialogue, especially now with entrenched positions.  I am praying for an asteroid to make the survivors focus on what matters.
