As to remarks about Israel, I generally agree. But, the same is true for the Arab-Palestinian side. There are too many groups that thrive off that conflict for their ever to be peace.

it's the 'chunk' taken off of iran - that's where the majority of its oil is.
this idea is gaining ground, believe it or not, in the echo chamber think tanks rattling plans around washington. the article is this guy's take on its possibility, but he didn't come up with the map.
sadly, as the 1990s drew to a close, religious extemism eclipsed palestinian secular nationalism as israel's enemy. this was not by accident in my opinion. EDIT: as in saudi, american, even some israeli interests are involved in the formation of Hamas.
