True Story: My father told me once that His father was sick and tired of all the conflicts in the middle east.

I don't think there will ever be peace in that region.

If you said religion you are right.
I do believe more wars are fought over/because of, religion than any other one thing, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know for sure but thats what I think.

At any rate this needs to stop and needed to have stopped long ago

...by some people for being anti-religion and all that stuff.
That and something else is why I left DU for 6 months.

Yes...your words ring true.

It just makes me sad for humanity that so much violence is going on over there.. so many human lives lost.

I just want it all to end and for there to be peace in the Middle East. Given that there have been fighting in that area of the world for centuries I don't foresee peace happening there anytime soon.

War is just insane and makes no logical or practical sense. How does me killing your citizens and then you killing mine solve a damn thing? My heart goes out to anyone living in any war-weary segment of our planet.
