There will be no peace in the Middle East. As long as you have idiots running around claiming land for their own religion (and I don't just mean the Palestinians) then there isn't really any hope. Separate religion from the government form is the only hope for progress and living in the 21st century.



We aren't exactly innocent in this either. We've made plenty of moves in the Middle East all to support Israel and oil. Those two are huge reasons we are involved in all things ME and have gone to several Wars there since 1991. We did choose war for oil.
