Some day all hell is going to break loose (probably muslim world vs. rest of the world + some small conflicts) and the usage of nuclear and biological weapons is going to destroy this god forsaken place...
I actually do think WWIII isn't that far off.
I think it's more of an "East" against "West" kind of thing.
P.S. This is not the Muslims' fault.......In my eyes even Einstein is a terrorist for inventing such a weapon...Israelis starve Palestinians and ruin their lives and now they're bored and want to move on to Lebanon. America wants to get as much control on foreign oil as possible, hence the Iraq war. Yes, a lot of terrorists are Arab or Muslim, but denying facts about other countries and blaming everything on the Middleeast is utterly racist! Oh and by the way, I want to hear more out of you guys.
With all these peoples own religious beliefs stirring themselves up, they don't need the USA or any other country to throw fuel on their fire. It is already there.
I don't think it is an East meets West issue at all.The turmoil in the middle east has been there since WWII. Israelis staving Palestinians??? The Palestinians have been starved by their own leadership. There have been plenty of money and opportunity pumped into the Palestinian Government that they could have had a good thing going. But instead they have been focused on bombs and arms for one purpose and that is to annihilate Israel. In the mean time while they have been sending in their own people with bombs strapped to their bodies, they have been running over into Israel getting jobs to support themselves. That is why they kick up a fuss over those walls.
I do believe that there is a big war coming. I think you are going to see China, Korea, Iran, European countries, and the West, along with a lot of other countries involved. China's economy right now is growing way too fast with a high demand on oil, one of the things that is fueling the higher oil prices. They would probably love to get their hands on some of the oil down there.
As for the USA, they get only about 20% of their oil from outside of the US. They could get that 20% from inside the US but there are a lot of people that are afraid that they would be killing wildlife, trees, fish and bugs in the process.
At the end of WWII the Palestinians came from Syria and Egypt, and settled there because the Israeli people began to come back to that land wanting their country again. Before that no one wanted the territory.
