The problem is ... this is a war that has literally been going on for thousands of years... can't think of any reason they'd give it up now... it is all they as a culture have ever known... on all sides.

I'm not saying it should be allowed to continue and I'm not saying that it isn't a sorry situation and a real tragedy for the new lives born into that mess, I certianly wouldn't want to live in that chaos, but every time the U.S. goes and sticks its nose into shite over there we create new enemies. Remember Osama was once our ally.

What solution could possibly be offered here? These groups have hated eachother for so long it is part of there genetic make up... how can we expect them to enter into and uphold agreements that require respect and trust when neither party will acknowledge the other's humanity and right to exist.
