Israel Nukes Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.  Then carpet bomb the West Bank and Gaza.\n\nThat would be about the only way to do it successfully.  But it won't happen

Yeah,sweet dreams you wonderful man.I don't think it is possible to wish for a total peace.I think that it is possible to wish for a balance between good and bad,and we should all be tankful if there is balance.

The whole situation in the middle east is so complicated. I do not even know where to start. The worst thing they could do was to try and start a war with Israel. Not very smart. Hopefully they can rebuild their country and try to live a peaceful life. I hope they do along with everyone else in the middle east.

The problem with the Middle Eastern conflict is that it is not a single force the American military is fighting: It is a culture, a religion. Though many people, have many opnions on the matter, here is mine. \nThis administration does believe that victory is possible, where it is completly improbable. The major factor in this, is the divisions of the area, between country, clan, and religion (Clan, as in sect of religion, family lineage, etc.), in which shows no mercy for those whom  attempt to change their traditions. The current Administration is pushing democracy upon a culture that has rejected such for over two millenia... No matter the strategy, withdrawal is the only option to cease bloodshed, yet keep a strong home defense incase of a counter-incursion.\n\nEdit: Correction, it is not the only option. As Celtic Rebel said, equip our troops bloody properly, and perhaps we can tough it out, and settle the more... radical of the lot in the sandpit over there.

First off Muslims have Mecca and medina for holly cities and only call the temple mount holy for political reasons. While the Jews have called it their spiritual capital for the last 3,000 years. As for making it an international city the first problem your going to face is who is going to be in charge of day to day activities. Are you just going to put some person with no connection or your going to put someone who has a predisposition? Also who is going to be in charge of security and public safety? The UN? I am sorry but they have proven them selves in effective of controlling any situation as well as the problems of the nationality of the people living their. You also have to consider the Geographic’s of Jerusalem the city kind of has vague borders east and west and if you cut a line right where the city line is you will device many neighborhoods trust me I know I lived their for the past year and a half. \n\nEven though your well intentioned I do not think that it is a feasible solution they talked about it before the problem is no one would respect it and today that’s no different. Oh, and most of Jerusalem is very safe with maybe the exception of a few Arab back allies at night is no different is safety from a city in America where you would not like to step foot in to if you did not have to.

That would be great.  However, Hamas is a terrorist group, not likely to honour any peace treaties.  The situation is so sad.  Progress was looking like a possibility, but the election of Hamas has set peace back.  For how long?  And leading to how much death?

There will be world peace, when the Israeli Occupation of the Palestinian people ends. \n\nIsraeli occupation of that part of the world is truly, the root of all evil. Because it was such an evil act, denying a people a country on thier land. This angered the majority of the world population. This resulted in many wars.\n\nPalestine was a lovely district of the Ottoman State that the British and Americans unrightfully gave to the Extremist and Terrorist Zionist Jewish groups. The palestinians, unarmed, and unprepared, were no match for the WWII strengthened Zionist terrorists. Who also had the latest weapons. So they lost, but not any more.\n\nThe world wants peace, It will happen ONLY after Israeli occupation of Palestine ends and all things return to normal. Hitler is no longer a threat, he's been dead, so why do the Zionists insist on having such an Aparthied State for Jews? \n\nThe world can no longer live with all those wars, our populations are increasing and our resources are limited, we're squandering too much on arms and destructive things, instead of spending it on education and healthcare. \n\nWhat a pity!

It doesn't matter either way. The bottom line is regardless of any good will or good faith gestures on the part of Israel, the Arab world will still want Israel annihlated. All rational people know that, hence there will never be peace. Sorry for the negative analysis, it's just the way I see it.

World peace from Iraq?  Are you serious?  If achieving world peace was that easy... well... it isn't.

You could give all of Israel to Palastine and it wouldn't be enough.  It's that the Jews are despised in the mid east and have been since biblical times.  I don't think the Arabs would be happy unless Jews were wiped off the face of Earth.  Then they would concentrate on someone else.

Yes, if indeed there would be world peace with no "but"s, or exceptions.. I would come up with a different method to get around.

Sheesh......talk about a difficult question!  First of all what do you mean by Palestine?  The Palestinian homeland is Jordan.  You haver to consider what each side wants and what each side fears.  We'll start with Israel.  What Israel wants is a safe and secure Israel, with an internal Jewish majority.  They don't want to have to rely on foreign powers for security...or even aid.  The Israeli policy towards Jerusalem and the occupied territories are all under intense debate as ways to achieve this end.  The real problem that Israel faces is their internal Muslim population outnumbering its jewish population due to higher birth rates.  Their biggest fear is surrendering land for peace....the Government they made a deal with being overthrown...and having attacks launched against them through invasion routes they gave back by new fanatic governments.  You have to remember that Israel came very close to destruction on several occasions....and that the stated goal of Hamas has always been to push jews into the sea.  The Palestineans want a homeland/country.  They are laregely secular/capitalist as a group...and better educated then any other region in the muslim mid-east.  Because of this they are seen as a threat by other nations in the Arab world.  This is why so many Arab nations pay lip service to the Palestinean cause....but do little for them.  In polls most Palestineans supported the peace proccess that Arafat began and then stopped with the Initifadah.  The recent election of Hamas had less to do with Israeli policy then it did with corruption in their security apparatus.  Palestineans fear losing their claim to any part of Jerusalem...which is what they might face with current Israeli policy of a unilateral withdrawl.  The solution has to be something that gives the Palistieans a homeland....while giving Israel secure borders and national security.  I don't know what the answer is....but I kow the current system of anti-semitism that is blared in Arab media sources doesn't help matters.  I also think that if the other Arabic nations budded out (and they have their own agenda which has NOTHING to do with the well being of Palestineans) a solution could be reached.  I think a secure and stable western styled government in a Palestinean homeland would be the only outcome that all sides could be happy with.  The problem is the rest of the Arab world wouldn;t be happy with it.

Unfortunately I think it's nearly impossible to achieve true peace throughout the world.  I think if we as people would look inside ourselves and try to be the best person we can be and to do good towards others instead of judging them and thinking that they should agree with us and want what we want. I think if people realized that each person choses their path and they have that a right to that choice and if we respect that there would be more peace in the world in general.  Peace begins within one's self.

Excellent question. It should move and I think the best place is Israel. It is the main focal point on most all international issues and I do believe it would solve or at least get a handle on many of today's problems.

no, i'm hopeful, but it seems so unlikely...and not either side is 100% innocent...but seems that israel is intentionally setting goals and demands for the palestinians to meet in order for hopes of peace that they know they can't do, or make it impossible for them to achieve.  ruining their land, burning farms, bulldozing, shooting people in the streets is not way to allow that area to stabilize and police itself.  several years ago israel kept saying, like they are now, that they need to get police out and stop the militants, but with the occupation, they would shoot at anybody even the police, making it impossible to their job..so its very much like palestine gets set up to fail, add to that all the frustration and hate coming from the palestinians and its a candle and powder keg.
