Well, the Iraq study group has met and come up with a two part strategy for Iraq:
1. Train the Iraqi's to police themselves and deal with the violence.
2. Create peace in the middle east by giving the Arab countries everything they've asked for except the complete and immediate destruction of Israel.
Brilliant! If we create peace in the middle east, we'll have peace in Iraq! Why didn't I think of that?
If Israel would just retreat to it's 1948 borders, the Arabs would have no more complaints and there would be peace. Amazing.
The panel sees some connection between Israel giving the Golan Heights to Syria and Arabs killing each other in Iraq.
It goes to show that age doesn't necessarily bring wisdom.
Get a bunch of politicians to develop a plan and what do you get? Garbage.
Get a bunch of old, ex-politicians in a room and what do you get? Aged garbage.
Peace in the middle east is in the hands of the Arabs -- not Israel. Anyone who isn't completely clear on this is not serious about the subject.
But, the focus has been and remains, Israel.
Israel has never initiated any war against another country. Since its inception, it has only fought in self defense. Even with rockets falling daily on it, Israel restrains itself. Oh, sure, sometimes it tries to get rid of the rockets. But, when it does, the whole world condemns it.
What other country would tolerate rockets being fired at it daily? Who else could suffer what Israel has without the perpetrators being condemned? What other country would be condemned for responding to rocket attacks and kamikaze attacks by people wrapped in explosives?
"Oh, but the poor palestinians are oppressed and that is why they blow up Israelis. If they only had a country of their own. Israel is an oppressor, so it's OK for the poor Arabs to kill innocent women and children to make their point. Give them the land and there will be peace."
Israel gave the Sinai to Egypt. As a result, Egypt doesn't directly attack Israel anymore. Instead, it funnels money and weapons to others who will attack Israel. The border between Egypt and Gaza has been a major path for arms and money to palestinian killers. It has been an express lane for tools to kill Israelis since the "disengagement."
What land can Israel give to Iran to get it to stop developing missiles, rockets and nuclear weapons? Maybe Israel can give some land to Iraq too so the fighting will stop there. How about North Korea? Would they be placated by some Israeli real estate too?
How can 21,000 square km of earth hold the solution to violence in the world?
Maybe it's like kids fighting over a toy. You just take the toy away and the fighting stops. Right?
Wrong. Kids who hit other kids first need to be taught not to hit others. Whatever it takes, they have to learn the lesson before it's too late.
