You have a point. To remain in the spirit of ATS however, is it the heat or the lack of air conditioners and underarm deodorant.

I know, I know (goes to the corner and shuts up).

Thanks my friend!!!! And thanks a "heap" for not laughing!!

High unemployment, is the answer to the question you asked.
This is not a one line post.

The same can be asked about Slavic people look at all the wars and political killings in Eastern Europe I think the idea of blood feuds has always been apart of both Eastern European and Middle Eastern thought and it won't disappear over night.

Are middle easterners just plain evil? Born to kill? Seems like it because they just cant put the guns down and talk about it. And roadside bombs... that is truly the act of a coward too afraid to fight like a man. Instead lets the bomb do all the dirty work. Pure coward whoever buried that bomb.

If middle easterners want peace then why are they always killiing eatchother? Does not make any sense to me!

Here is some advice.

1) I noticed you have yet to reply to any posts. So in essece you asked a question of an ignorant 12 year old or you are just baiting for remarks.

2) Your location is on Mars. Maybe since you are so far away a good solution would be to fly your tight outfit and cape into the middle east and plant yourself next to a suicide bomber. Since everyone over there is so "cowardly".

Solution: Do some research before posting such stooge headed threads.

Conclusion: You made an absolute fool of yourself.

Both sides want the same speck of dirt, and feel they are entitled to it by their god. Makes negotiation a bit tricky....neither side will budge, so the only other way to settle the matter is with force.

And roadside bombs... that is truly the act of a coward too afraid to fight like a man. Instead lets the bomb do all the dirty work. Pure coward whoever buried that bomb.

Sadly, when one is outgunned and way behind militarily speaking, such tactics are some of the only options open to them...doesn't make it any less cowardly, but it is why it is done... The goal is to continually harass the enemy until they simply feel it isn't worth it to stay. (and historically, sometimes it works, i.e. Russians and Afghanistan, for example)...

The majority of citizens want peace...but all it takes are some factions (on both sides of the issue) who want something else, to ruin it for all. Just takes one guy to fire a rocket into a shopping center, and then you've got a group of tanks moving into Gaza...regardless of how many citizens desire peace.

The only realistic (not best) ways to have peace in the area are:

1. Israel completely annhilates the Palestinians, and presents enough of a front to dissuade other middle east nations from attacking it...(a monstrous decision, and not a likely scenario)

or.

2. The Palestinians (as the weaker military force) capitulate to enough factors to allow them to create their own soveriegn state. (my personal hope for the area)

Any other attempt is simply going to repeat the cycle of violence that exists in the region...
