Come on. You really believe that?

I think the old saying "An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind" applies in that conflict.

A big reason why this is not solved is because of the warped coalitions that are formed after elections and the promises that are made to form them. Another is that the leader on the other side is quite skilled at surviving, but pretty lousy at governing.

I think if everyone cut off the money to that area for about a year you'd be surprised how much progress could be made. The money flowing into both sides enables this situation to continue unabated.

Both sides are responsible of committing heinous attacks. But if the US treated both sides equally ($$$$) , they wouldn't need to kill scoolchildren to get a point across. They would do what the Israelis do, and fire US stinger missiles at govt buildings and "suspected" terrorists. BY THE WAY.....convenient how the Pres. has not said one word about a US citizen being run over by an Israeli bulldozer in the "occupied" territories. She stood in front of it and those ruthless bastards ran her over!!!!!!!! She had no gun, no bombs on her, and was no threat to anybody but herself!!!
