>Pardon me if I'm asking you to repeat what's been said before, but what's your take on the whole thing? The short of it? I'm sick of it. No matter which "side" we're on, we pay way too much attention to it as a public and devote too many resources to it as a country. Yeah, it's messy, but, shit, we have a major economic situation going on here and there's so many more dire situations going on around the world. I'm just kind of done with it. If you pressed me, what do I really think about it? I think it's not such a terrible thing that Israel was established, though I'm not sure I would've supported it back then. The Arab states were rightfully bitter but way too violent in trying to prevent and then destroy Israel, but that Israel has certainly overstepped its bounds in trying to expand its territory since and also has exhibited ridiculously unjustified and cruel force against the Palestinians as well as abrogation of their rights. There really isn't a good guy here, and if we're not getting them to stop fighting each other, then we should get the hell out. We've been actively intervening for almost 50 years! -Z
