This may be a dumb question, but how in the FUCK are you going to keep Israel safe (and should we?), and how in the FUCK do you stop these people from killing each other by just drawing up new countries?

thx and I've seen that map before or one similar.
You wonder if when the UN had given statehood to Israel if at the same time Palestine would have been put on the books, how differently things would be now.
It didn't matter. Once Israel was given statehood the majority of Arab states went to war. In fact many Palestinians were told to leave so that Israel could be attacked and the they could later simply head home. Didn't work out that way though.
al-Maliki says sectarian violence in Bagdad is "closed" which I assume means done.
Hopefully it holds.
There pretty much aren't any more Sunnis left in Baghdad. No reason to commit violence now if everyone is in the same sect.
And here we are back to describing why I like Musharraf so much. Guys like him are the only future the Middle East has. Musharraf isn't aiming his missles at Israel. He's not trying to institute Sharia law in Pakistan. He's not funding suicide bombers. He's ruling his country with an iron fist so none of that bullshit happens.Quote:
