This.

The conflict between Arabs and Isralies goes back much further than 1947. The Jews claim that the land of Israel was promised by God only to the descendants of Abraham's younger son Isaac, while the Arabs argue that it was promised to all descendants of Abraham, including his elder son Ishmael, from whom Arabs claim descent.

Wait.

So this whoooole thing, this whoooooole fucking thing is essentially a "Dad said I could have this." - "Nuh uh, Dad said only I could have this." argument?

That's one way of looking at it. At the moment I'd say it's also a lot of ''Your dad killed my dad.'' ''No your dad killed my dad.'' With actual dads. I think a big part of it isn't really religiously based anymore.

Also true, it's become as much of a cultural conflict as a religious one.

Probably better than Syria losing control of those weapons or being allowed to use them. I thought bombing chemical weapons depots was a bad idea?

Not if it's only the enemy's women who will be giving birth to two-headed babies.

I agree. Seems like everyone in the middle east are school children fighting over toys in a sand box.

I say. Pull out, and let the children fight.

Wow...just...wow. You call me an idiot, yet you sound like you're having a tantrum.
Yeah and who cleaned up the mess? WE DID.

Do you realize that if there is a war with Israel the US will possibly get dragged into it?
Do you also realize that the US has tried for years to stabilize the region?

Many of us are sick of it. If they wanna kill each other then let them.
Better yet maybe another country can baby sit over there for a bit and let us take a nap.

A nation state was wiped off the map, a genocide happened and land was poisoned with chemical weapons. We didn't do nearly enough, I don't care what we did afterwards. None of that should have happened.

No, I haven't watched the news since 1945.

I now don't care about anything you ever say again.

^I get your point, but the US aren't the ****ing world police and which side do you pick when both are a bunch of ****ing ******s who are as bad as each other?

The people's side. This isn't about the US or any other country acting like a police officer, this is about innocent people who need help from those who can spare it.

You're right it should never have happened, but it did. I could be wrong but I don't remember anyone else trying to stop it either.

Many of the Governments over there act like they don't want peace. I think it's time to just let them go. As IMABBALLPLAYER said. They're a lost cause.

I really wish that were the case. The U.S. may not be the world police, but it certainly seems like were it's baby sitter sometimes.
We have more troops and bases over there than most of Western Europe combined.

Funny enough though if we decide to get involved were busy bodies and sticking our noses in other peoples business. If we do nothing then were cold heartless bastards who should have stepped in.

In other words, were condemned for our actions, and condemned for our inaction. Regardless what we decide you are still going to blame us.

I call bullshit. Nobody would have blamed you if you wouldn't have invaded Afghanistan. Nobody would have blamed you if you wouldn't have invaded Iraq.

Nobody is asking the US to act as a police officer, we've got the UN for that.
