I could not have said it any better myself. I haven't talked to any Palestinians or other Arabs recently but have been following this and talking about it with people who have spent considerable time in Israel and the Arab states. I don't think I am biased because I have no stake in this except as an average U.S. citizen looking for peace and quiet and fair play. The Israelis have let their technical military superiority go to their heads.

Actually I think the problem is that Israelis have started to believe there own press and Americans, in general, are not willing to look at all the facts and complaints on both sides before deciding what's fair and right. I know, because I was one of them.

. . . Let's just nuke the whole Middle East. The world has excess population and the area is too dry and barren to support all the people over there anyway. Just nuke the whole bloody mess. And after were done with that, let's nuke some other places too . . . just for the fun of it. We could film it all and turn it into a new "survivor" show. Big ratings and profits assured.

The problem with this conflict is that it has great potential for spilling over into the rest of the world unlike, say, a conflict between South Africa and Uganda. The end result of that spillover effect could be that we all get nuked. That's whats scary about it.
