Hamas Leader Killed

[Wolfe]

Just another day in the Middle East.  Been there, seen it.  They can have it.  Since biblical times that place has been cursed.  :admonish:

Neither side really wants peace.  There neibors don't want peace.  There will be no peace until all are dead.   :insane:

I think they've just run out of things to try. As Israel's rulers slide further and further to the extreme right, they keep escalating their methods to solve the terrorist problem. Or rather, to remove it. They're not interested in solving the issue, which is why they're building a wall to keep it out.

Escalating hasn't worked before, I doubt if it will work now. What if this man was limiting the terrorism for political reasons and his replacement is even more belligerent?

No, this will fail, and a lot of innocent Israelis and even more innocent Palestinians will die for it. It will fail because force isn't the answer - unless of course the violence escalates into plain genocide.

What is the answer other than striking out at the leaders of terror.  A peaceful solution has been put forward before.  Not perfect, but a place to start.  Didn't work.  Its all or nothing.  That means death and distruction.  

But . . . lets say, the Isreali's and Palastinian's decide tomorrow that there will be peace.  The nations around them will not allow it.  If it wasn't for the surrounding nations (Saddam only one them) there might actually be peace.   The wall, although not the best idea, will at least limit the amount of attacks by homicide bombers.  And maybe in the future make it easier to talk peace and then take them down.  

"There must be security for all or none are secure."  ((Day The earth Stood Still.))

Now, i'm not pro or con for either side.  But, I have my own solution for the problem, but it would be socially unacceptable by most.  Therefor I will keep it to myself.

That's called genocide. And Israel are getting dangerously close to treading that path.

True.  But, when attacked you strike back, back and forth they go attacking each other.  

The big question is "what is the solution"?  

And thats the problem.  There isn't one that both can agree on and even then will the surrounding nations go along?

JESUS IS THE SOLUTION!
*cough*

well, in this case, he indeed is, with his passivist attitude. If Israel really wanted this problem being solved, they let the UN do it. That's what the UN is for.

But they do not want to solve this problem,
they just want to punch some more Palastines, and vice versa.

Revenge is addictive

The UN?  That bunch of misfits couldn't manage an empty box of cookies.  The UN has no back bone.  Poor leadership.  They run at the first sign of trouble .  Once they put a process in effect they don't watch or control it - look at the oil for food program in Iraq.  Do you think for one minute that the Palistinians or the Ireali's will stop fighting because the UN says so.  He he he!  There will just be more dead people as the UN is in the middle of flying bullets and bombs.

A real sollution is needed.  But there really isn't one.  Until both sides decide that there must be peace, war is all there will be.

Sad, but that is life.

@ blobrana

That would have to be much better than the UN.  But who?  Which countries?  Who pays?  And once you figure all that out then those countries who do it will be attacked by outside forces (terrorists) for being in the middle east as invaders.  

The middle east is a cursed plot of sand.  And all who touch it will suffer its curse.
