First let it be said that I don't enjoy the idea of war, I have never
personally fought in one and hope I never do, nor do I hope my son has to.
(I did spend 5 years with the Sheriff's but that's a whole different kind of
battle). What I am stating is that based on man's history we will never (at
least not in our lifetime) see a world that is with out conflict. There are
just too many egos at stake here. I too would like to live in a perfect
world where there were no conflicts, but I don't see that happening. It goes
back as far as Cain and Able. So my point was that unless one side or the
other completely over powers the other, this conflict in the Middle East
will continue for a long long time.
So realize I'm just stating an observation of how I believe and end to the
fighting will come to the Mid East. It's not something that I'm endorsing,
nor is it something that I wish to happen. But we've all see what happens
every time the two sides "make peace", it just doesn’t' seem to stick. I'm
sure that more attempts at peace will be made here in the future and they
might stop the attacks for a while, but someday it will flare up again and
will continue to until one side "achieves a complete military victory"
