Answer 1

Not until Israel makes sure that terrorists can't send missles into Israeli cities, no.

Answer 2

I've read many responses about the US letting the middle east be, and to play on the children in the sandbox analogy, I will respond as follows. If the US leaves the middle east alone, Israel will be without its closest ally. Lebanon is a country with half the population, and less that 1/6 the GDP. Israel can easily destroy Lebanon and the Palestinians if it was so inclined, the only problem is, Syria and Iran (the big guns in the middle east). If the Lebanese and the Palestinians can call on their thugs to do the fighting for them, supply them, because they have a common goal, and that is the eradication of israel and the west, the hatred of america, and the spreading of islam, why can't israel call on its "big guns" the US who values israeli values and the prosperity and success of the west. If you like America (regardless of your political affiliation), and you like your freedoms, realize that there is only one country in the middle east who has that kind of democracy and freedoms - israel. Not Jordan nor Egypt, who are both allies have this kind of Western democracy. Jordan has a monarchy and Egypt has a democracy that refused to have anyone run against Hosni Mubarak until last year. If they can call on their friends for funding, so can israel.

Answer 3

Let's see:
They want to sell their primary resource at a reasonable rate so they can build a first world infrastructure.
US has too many 'middle-man' expenses related to the production, distribution and sales of the product, therefore does not see how paying so much would help.
They only want to sell their products but are disinclined to buy what the US has to offer (multi-nationals, bad food, and semi-pornographic and violent movies).
So the leaders of each nation use a common weakness to all: Religion & Spirituality so that the 'masses' will support whatever ludicrus idea their governments come up with.
Now the US has control of the oil-mining countries and can designate another dictator to sell them oil at a more affordable price- leaving that third-world country worse off than when they started.
And you want them to 'settle down'?
You first!

Answer 4

Yes. Bush is the only one sitting between World War III and Israel, according to some journalists and political analysts. And he seems unlikely to abandon the long standing pro-Israel policy of the US. (We supply them with Apache attack helicopters, bulldozers to destroy Palestinian villages, fincancially support their millitary, and always provide a UN Security Council veto whenever it's in their favor even though everyone else disagrees).

I believe the answer is for nations to share resources (food, land, water sources, technology, building materials) in order to end such extreme disparities between rich and poor and the bitter tensions caused by it - the poorest people (including most Palestinians) will not just sit by and happily accept the richest 1/3 of the world squandering away most of the resources while countless people starve and remain hopeless without the basic necessities of life.

Ending poverty through economic justice is the only answer. Foolish politicians believe more fighting and aggression will somehow make peace. We have to get to the core of humanity's problems: injustice, greed, competition. This is why we still have barbaric war in the 21'st century.

Answer 5

there might be a way if USA let middle east be and stayed away from everyone's bussiness like it's their own really. i mean, i think middle east is waaaay too far from US to bother them so why keep on bothering ME?! trying to fight terrorism and keeping peace my ***! i can see Bush making big moves to what's going on between Lebanon and Israel! He's such a fair man! I wonder how would the world be if there was no USA and no Israel! (no offence to the ppl but both governments suck!)

Answer 6

Extremism needs to be eliminated at it's root - at the Mosques

Crazy mullas who pervert Holy Koran needs to be removed and reasonable and peaciful people need to get into power in the religious world.

Answer 7

The middle east is only troubled by Israel and its closest ally, the united states. When the US stops interfering in other people's business, then there will be peace in the middle east.
