Peace in the Middle East?

[Dmack_901]

I think it is humanly impossible. ..........unless aliens attack and everyone is forced to come together to fight them.

I'm really not sure...The religious beliefs in the area are so strong, and they've been fighting eachother for centuries.

4 options:
1.) leave them alone and let them kill each other forever.
2.) try another roadmap of diplomatic talks leading back to the same place
3.) a new military campain to clean up the whole middle east thus turning opposing countries into activly opposing countries and turning borderline countries against us creating a war which we cann't handle.
4.) Empty out our nuclear arsanol on the whole reigon enilating everyone. Then sending 20 people on a space shuttle to mars to rebuild a new perfect human empire.

Yep, that's the problem, this jazz has been going on for what...four thousand years??

I do pray for peace on our planet, but at the same time, I have to laugh at the arrogance of our western leaders, thinking they're going to sort this mess out!

Like, uh, just 'cause THEY say so? Yeesh! HAHAHAHA!!

We How can you have peace when Occupied Palestine is Not free!!! Of course the occupation continues because my hard earned money is taxed and sent to the Jews to kill the innocent Palestinians with their gunships and tanks! All for what so that the Big Guys in the US get bigger and richer....
It is all about MONEY!!!

Allright, Foodbiz... settle down....have some dip.

I'm going to ignore your slash about Jews, but I will concede to your MAIN point, yes, it's all about the bucks. No question.

i don't think it's possible either...this is not about politics or occupation/oppression. even if these things were changed there would still be no peace.

foodbiz, you made some rather strong assertions, can you give us your reasoning behind them?

I'm not sure it's the arrogance of OUR leaders we should be laughing at...it's the arrogance of those people that is the cause of the fighting to begin with.

Am I the only one who believes peace is possible?

It will come in its own time.

They are human on both sides. They aren't to be hated.

I believe the city of David should be under the control of his people; the remnant of Israel.

I think it will...but the only way to speed up the process is to remove the leaders of the "problematic" countries...many of them seem to be pushing for terrorism between countries.
