hmmmm... I cannot agree to all of your statements.. some, yes but you need to accept that not every single human being in the region is evil.... nor the risk that we would face from other countries if we were to take such approach... you are nearly saying that the world "owes" us our standard of livng... you are bordering in the same attitude as the Palestinians... Partially I can see the reasons why you have been pushed to make such statements... and THAT is the reason that it is time to stop the bullshit... the alternative is what you are suggesting and in the end... it will be like the Palestinia - Israel conflict... except on a world - wide scope.... we need to be smarter than that.... We've earned it and I would like to keep it. If that means we have to butcher a couple hundred million I can live with that. now think about that one for example.... you think the rest of the world will sit iddle and watch ? I am sure not... and taken to that level... we are at a disadvantage... we have much more to lose than them, or... pput it in a different way... we have a lot more at risk than to gain... so from that perspective alone... it is not worth it to go at a dog and cat fight.... again, we neeed to be smarter... we can't lower ourselves to their level...
