The war in Iraq, Israel vs Palestine, Israel vs Lebanon ... All my life I have been made highly aware of the tension and violence in the Middle East. I know that since one small sliver of land is held sacred by three separate religions, there's fight over territory. I know that since the area sits atop the world's largest oil reserve, what happens on the surface matters to us. But for YEARS I have tried to understand, though with not much devotion, the fundamental conflict in the Middle East, and I just don't get it. Why are we there? Why the suicide bombings? What is Hesbollah's purpose? Why do Palestinians want their own state? If you run out of room, email me at williamsbeckiv@yahoo.com. Thanks
