A short allegory of Israel:\n\nPretend that Israel is an apartment building.\n\nSome jews live there, some Arabs (Jordanians). Many empty nasty apartments.\n\nThe Health Department says you Jews need a place to live. Take these places, fix them up, live here.\n\nTired Jews move into vacant apartments, in spite of the hatred and attacks and murders by the Arabs (Jordanians).\nThem fix up the apartments, live quietly, and protect themselves.\n\nHealth Department comes by and says, good job, you can keep the apartments and the building itself.\n\nJews now own the building. Arabs (Jordanians) say "Oh my God, they will murder and kill and rob and rape us simply because we murdered and killed and robbed and raped them, how unfair!!"\n\nArabs (Jordanians) run away leaving vacant apartments.\n\nAbandoned apartments become property of the landlords (Jews) and are turned over to other settlers who move in.\n\nArabs (Jordanians) go to all other Arab countries and whine about reparations and poverty. Other Arab Countries kick them out.\n\nArabs (Jordanians) decide that they need a new image.\n\n"Hey!!! We're Palestinizers now! Palestinites? Palestonians? Palesturgers??? (Gets out Liberal Arab Talking Points Crib notes) Oh! Palestineans! Right. These mean thoughtless cruel non burkah wearing Jews have DRIVEN us from our ancestral lands in Palestan. Wait!! Palestine. Boo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo (are the cameras still on me?) Hoo. We are peaceful people so murder them, rape their women, crush their children, blow up their weddings, funerals, cafe's, busses, wait - don't hurt the furniture, we'll need that!"

They are a bunch of pansies.  They rather kill thousands of innocent civilians then actually fight.

The people blowing themselves up are extremists and most likely they are not even Iraqis. If you have taken the time to notice, the American military has not been their target.  Their prime target has been Shites and their mosques, which would indicate to me that the Sunni/Shite battle is far from over.  Yet, these people insist on a Islamic littered government, with both factions sitting across the table from one another, trying to maintain a government.  When will they learn, when will they ever learn!

We are trying to get them to do it for themselves!Guess they are just slow to nurture...It does look like we rule there but we dont..we simply set some points for them and its up to them to follow thru..I think they will in time..It cant be easy and they have to deal with violence every day as they try to set goals..Good luck to them!

It isn't being dealt with at all,and won't be until the citizens have had enough, and clean-house. When it happens, as it must, I just hope it's done without bloodshed, but I doubt it. Those people up there aren't likely to give-up without a fight. They have had too much power for too long, and continue usurping more from the people, to which the power in this country lawfully belong.

you're trying to convince the wrong folks.  \n\ncall the local police and try to convince them...  i'm sure that they'll be much easier to win over.\n\ngood luck.

I think anyone who fights for what they believe in is brave. Who's to say what side is right or wrong anyway.

I'm not sure it's that we lose these wars, we just refuse to win them; leaving the enemies to fight another day.\n\nI want to win so we can get it behind us [for good], but that requires something we [the culture at large] no longer posses: moral clarity, conviction & certainty of purpose.

It is a natural human instinct to fight to be free. Like the licence plate says...."Live free or die."   However it should be everyone's  "Patriotic Duty"  to fight for our "Constitutional Rights."

All of the above\nplus they can Vote to declare War.

I think they  don't because they want something to fight against. It makes them feel like they are doing something with their lives that in reality they are not doing. They can't take the time to walk in another mans shoes to see that he is not so different.\nHere is a story.\nI work for a major Cable company and when the cable goes out you would think we just stole their first born. Really...\nNot to long ago in one of our cities the cable went off and we could not get if fixed. It not like we did not try. For three days nothing. People were forced to talk to their families.\nWe had one woman call in after it was on to say she wished we had been off longer. She said that she played with her family. Board games and walks in the park.\nAll because she had nothing to do.\nRight now my partner thinks that me being on here is a waste of time but she will play games for hours. I like to think that in some way I help people by giving a right answer.\nI can be happy knowing that I can. I have noticed that I turn off the TV more and do other things. I also think that getting along more has something to do with not only how someone was raised but how well educated they are. ( I know what I am saying, I am from the south) In school we are forced in to classes with all kinds of people and when they see that one person is not that different then they can think, maybe I am wrong about that group.\nI hope that answers your question
