The mercenary sand box wars of the West will be forgotten long before these age old animosities. <br />I think that Russia, the US, Britain, China, and Israel should all meet secretly in some smoke-filled room, decide how to divide them up, and then invade the Middle East, conquer it and parcel it out among themselves in some agreed upon equitable fashion. Then, at least, the region will be governed by civilized nations who have some degree of rationality and good sense. Everybody will have plenty of oil, and Islam will be relegated to a small, uninteresting chapter in a World Religions text somewhere. The few remaining "terrorists" would be hunted down and killed like the mad dogs they are. Everybody would sleep better, and we would not have to listen to the endless drone of news reports on the Middle East.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-9075637488363655602013-09-15T18:09:21.632-04:002013-09-15T18:09:21.632-04:00Before we congratulate ourselves too much for what...Before we congratulate ourselves too much for what is, in the end, an unenforceable agreement with people notorious for violating agreements, we should recognize that stopping an immediate US response in Syria does not mean that the killing has stopped and that there is, or will be, peace in Syria as a result.<br /><br />Peace means tranquility and quiet. The killing and suffering will continue, we will just, for now, hear less about it.TomDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-89691298046581651852013-09-14T20:24:16.427-04:002013-09-14T20:24:16.427-04:00Noble Prize!Noble Prize!qwiknesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439450727837308035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-78383563031230305172013-09-14T20:02:11.941-04:002013-09-14T20:02:11.941-04:00Father,
