Are middle easterners just plain evil? Born to kill? Seems like it because they just cant put the guns down and talk about it.
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)...
If middle easterners want peace then why are they always killiing eatchother? Does not make any sense to me!
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...
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.
