Although discussing the middle east situation is a good excersise in politics, foreign policy and religion, it is also pointless.
There will never be peace in that region. Ever.
The goal is to keep it from boiling over. Its like that car thats hanging over the edge of a cliff. The west tries to put some birds on the trunk to keep it from tipping over the end, Iran puts some birds on the hood, and it goes back and forth.
In my lifetime I hope I don't see the Israel issue come to a head, because it will be far more disastrous than Iraq or Afghanistan.
As long as the west continues to support Israel, terrorists will attack western targets. Its just the way it is.
