re: It's as if the US overthrew Saddam, and then instead of what we are currently doing (trying to build a stable democratic system), we began building permanent settlements in Iraq populated by Americans, and then said its the defeated Iraqis who are responsible for the violence that would naturally follow, and letting that situation last 38 years! Can you imagine?

LOL.

I don't have a solution either.

I assume the majority of Palestinians and Israelis live, work, and die together in peace; I've seen a few documentaries about it.

It's the few that have to be dealt with, and giving those few what they want will not stop their pursuit of what they want...

On the other point, if we pulled every American out of Iraq tomorrow, would the killing of Iraqi civilians stop? And to some that assume the position that tyranny under Saddam was better are more stupider than I am...

I don't think giving away the lands that Israel won in the 67 and 73 wars would solve anything.

I don't know the solution, but the onus is on Israel to create one, not the loser Palestinians.

It's as if the US overthrew Saddam, and then instead of what we are currently doing (trying to build a stable democratic system), we began building permanent settlements in Iraq populated by Americans, and then said its the defeated Iraqis who are responsible for the violence that would naturally follow, and letting that situation last 38 years!

Good one!
