How do we stop it. Wars have been fought all over this planet since humans first took over. What makes us think Sharon has the ability to stop this one. He hasn't the power. But the US and the UN do; by getting the middle east to rise up above religious wars and nationalism.

Do you really believe that the middle east is getting ready to rise up? According to polls, many in the middle east believe Arabs/Muslims were not responsible for the WTC attack; that the US made that up so we could go after bin Laden.

To do that, we need to establish an Arab trading block which will improve the life of everyone in the region. Afghanistan would be a good start. Now that we have defeated Taliban, we need to follow up with the hard part, and install a democracy, with a strong national gov. and police force. And give them enough money, as we did with the Marshall plan in Europe; to rebuild a country with a vibrant economy. Now isn't the time to get cheap. Secondly, give both Iran and Iraq a deal they can't refuse, to make them accept the Saudi peace initiative or else. Take away the outside influences, Israel and Palestine might be able to live in peace. There is no oher way.

This part makes good sense........I think a lot of Western resources should be directed toward those goals.
