about 4,000 years of the same killing and destruction. Just different weapons, same blood spilled. Human arrogance keeps westerns thinking we can "talk the crazies" into peace.

This. And when theirs runs out in a few decades, the Middle East will go back to being the dusty a##hole of the earth that no one cares about (like current-day sub-Saharan Africa). Ain't nothing gonna change - it's just that no one will care.

You need to study up on your religion a little bit more. Jews and Arabs are brothers, worship the same God and many aspects of their religion are the same.

And my post was tongue-in-cheek. Hence the rolled eyes.

2 words for you, fusion & desalination. I would hope that by 2100 fusion is a reality. That solves the water problem.
