Is peace in the Middle-East even possible?

In studying the history of Middle-East region, it is evident that this volatile mix of Religous and ethnic groups have never managed to sustain a prolonged period of peace in their entire history. Obviously, Western military, cultural and economic imperialism over the previous two centuries have often upset the power balance exasparating these problems, but even before this, it has always been a region inclined towards war.

People may say remove America's military presence in the region, America's support for Israel (Which people sometimes forget is under siege from hostile neighbours, and the unconditional support and aid it receives from the U.S.A is perhaps all that is keeping these neighbours at bay), reduce dependance on Middle-Eastern Oil.. but that ignores a historical fact.

This is a region that was prone to war well before Western imperialism made its mark, so the question.

Is peace in the middle even possible? Or should we focus the attention on conflict management?

If the Arabs put down their weapons, there will be peace.
(If Israel puts down its weapons there will be no more Israel...)


"I Want to Know Your Answer
Hardly. There have always been efforts for peace in the M.E., but there is always a radical group trying to prevent peace from happening.

If Israel was about 10 times tougher on its neighbors, there would be peace.

The Radicals & pres of Iran brought this to a whole new level when they openly announced their goal to destroy Israel & USA and basically all non-Muslim peoples. Why the UN is standing back and not taking their threats serious and uniting aginst them is beyond me and will only lead to further chaos.


jefferson
it will never happen..they are to stubborn to accept peace

An Israeli states person (whos name escapes me at the moment) once said "There will only be peace in the middle east when Muslims learn to love their children more than they hate their enemies."


?
there will never be have never been for thousands of years peace in the middle east

lasting peace isn't possible because there are still land disputes to go along with the religious hatred. The power balance just needs to be maintained in the region. That is our goal. We'll continue to be involved as long as we need the oil, and that's just the way it is.

The Bible instructs us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. God knew that chosing the Israelite people as His chosen ones would cause them all kinds of problems. The Bible also says that yes, there will be 3 1/2 years of peace for Israel brought about by the Anti-Christ. After this 3 1/2 years, it will be 3 1/2 years of horror. After the 7 years, Christ will usher in a thousand years of peace, where the lion will lay down with the lamb, and there will be no war.

NOOOPPEE. With religion and racial disputes involved, there is a very low expectancy of peace in ANY argument. These animals will fight about who owns the sand blowing in the air!!
It is my opinion that conflict continues for so long because of 'diplomacy'. The biggest impediment to military success, especially for the great country of America, is the double barreled-nonsense that war is never necessary, and that when we DO find ourselves in war, we must fight with exaggerated restraint. Much like Vietnam and the current Iraq conflict. Who would guess the strongest, most efficient killing machine today, (the U.S. military), would be bogged down by groups with no education higher than the 4th grade???!!!! It's the John Kerry's, Hillary Clinton's and Pelosi's who make this conflict bloodier than it has to.
*Sparo1*- You are absolutly correct on the U.N. They hate America more than Osama Bin Laden does!!

Peace will only be acheived when these savages kill themeselves with the Nukes they are trying oh so hard to obtain.

No. Never has been, never will.

It doesn;t seem that peace is posible.

As long as there are people that are so fanatical, there are issues with peace.

I suppse that 20 years ago, it seemed impossible to get the English/N.Irish issues solved. They are not yet resolved, but peace is surely there...so it is possible anywhere. It will take decades.

Did the "War on Drugs" work???


cwoods1960
no they have lived like that for several thousands years & we are not going to change it & we shouldn't have a president that is so dumb as to think that the U.S. can chage it


Serena
To be honest, I don't think there will EVER be peace between the Middle East and the US. However, it didn't stop my mom and dad from hooking up. I don't know how they did it, but he's a Muslim, she's Catholic. I also don't think there will be peace because that's like saying the world is perfect. It's not. And I don't think it'll ever be.

YES Peace is possible in the Middle East and there should be some kind of conflict management and some kind of program set up to get these people out of the 7th century and into the 21st century and lots of education
that will help them see the errors of their ways!!!!!!


melouofs
It seems those people have been fighting since Biblical times, and I can't see how that's to change all of a sudden. I would like to see that no longer be our problem, while we expend our efforts on our own citizens, ranther than on those half a world away.

yes. get rid of all Arabs and terrorists


muller K
there is no peace with occupation , the occupation itself as a terrorism , Israel refuses to end the occupation of Arab lands , America and the nations of the world support to end the occupation but Israel procrastinates because Israel is supported by the Zionist lobby in America which affects on American policy .

With time it can be done.
Until we can come up with a yellow ribbon in planet of apes.
Or else we get kick on the butts by our creator all ready out there at work with a similar road sign that read "Creator at work" in planet of apes.
The mystery of us-911 expose who is out there in planet of apes.
Those boys and girls serving out there were at loss and blurr as witness to the living examples of punishment and destruction of human errors in idol worshiping in planet of apes.

Anything is possible. Though, unfortunately, there may never be world peace. Not even when the world ends. But like I said, anything is possible. We should try to achieve world peace as best we can. It's a good goal for the world to work towards but it can't be achieved without full cooperation from all the countries. So it could take a while.
