Re: What is the future for the Israel and its neighbors?
Don't mean this written word to sound harsh or self righteous, so please remember that when reading. I am just a normal bloke really.
The balance of power has shifted.
America has or has almost reached it's Zenith.
China is the super power in Military and Economic sence.
Most Western democracy's:
1. can not fully cloth themselves,
2. the time is approaching when they may be unable to feed themselves.
3. they are unable to provide themselves with manufactured commodities.
I am not comfortable with it. I like things just the way they have been for most of my life.
rolmops:
yes, I agree with your statement re oil but I am skeptical as there are too many of either our leaders/their friends/their political supporters etc making too much money to do the right thing.
They don't give a toss as to how many young Americans or Jews or Muslims die, so long as no one stops their money pouring in.
As for Israel holding economic and scientific supremacy....for get it. Never going to happen.
They will never be able to secure their borders to be able to develop. One of the most basic imputs of any business from the smallest to largest.

An all out war is not going to fix these boys. You can "take out" what ever you want, but at the end of the day, you got to stand on the ground, at every darned street corner, and police/run the show, and that is something an American Army has never sucessfully done. This running back to base for a hot shower/toilet paper/clean underpants/hamburger and ice cream makes those you are trying to convert very P/O'd, especially when they are starving and disease ridden with no way in their life of beating the poverty trap.
England (sorry RPJS) made one of the all-time stuff-ups about 200yrs back. They sent all their convicts and riff-raff to Australia. They should have left them in England and sent the rest. Before anyone jumps on me, think it through, they would now be the most important/powerful country on the planet. You really have to understand what Australia has and what the English mentality is to get that one.
Solution:
To me, Israel is finished.
They were never a race of people taking back their country, but members of a religious order with citizenship from any of hundred countries, deciding to live together in their own land.
They should cut their losses and get to hull out of it, and the obvious place to go is America.
They will be able to live in peace, practice their religion, raise their families and develop their indistries and arts in security. That is something they have not known and will never know in Israel.
If you feel you can batter millions of Muslims in to thinking the way you think, forget it; it is no more likely to happen than them trying to change you over to muslim religion and way of life.
No matter the cost to all of us, cut the bleeding oil off, develop alternatives (no matter the cost) and get the Israelis out, and let who-ever is left have the place.
How many billions of dollars and young lives are we going to pour down that hole over the next 12 months...?.......it is all B/S.
What we are doing does not work.
It will never work.
Is the Pope Catholic?
Do Bears Pooop in the woods?
Will the Muslims of the Middle East change to our ways?
Sorry fellas.
