My Final Question on the Middle East

I've been asked for my solution to problems in the Middle East.  Here they are; and nobody will agree with them!

--On Israel and the Palestinians.  To my mind there's only one solution.  They must live together in Israel.  The boundaries of Israel extend to the very end of the Egypt country.  Israel knows it controls every area in Palestine though for reasons for internal unity, it wants to give some other impression. 

Olmert is right:  the Palestinians must live in harmony with the Israelites.  Of course, the various organizations of the Palestinians must group together as one.  I can't stand Abbas or the PLO; but if the Hamas likes them, so be it.  But be sure, no be two states--no money; and would be the source of constant friction between Israelis and Muslims.

In Lebanon, the Hezbollah is critically divided.  In the end the faction supporting the Syrian dictatorship will lose out in favor of a stronger Lebanonese, nationalistic group.

At this point, one may wonder what I think of the State Department.  I think they're trying hard to do what is impossible.  Trying to get nations to agree with one another when State Department members don't even have security clearance is asking too much of them. They don't really know what's going on; it's an absurd position they're in.

--Now let's go to Syria.  At this juncture, there's no option but to remove Assad.  The Russian-Syria alliance is causing disruption in the Middle-East.  Putin is laughing at the fact that nobody will take him on--either in Russia, the Ukraine or Syria.  Iran is simply a pawn, weary of war and internal hankering--it is out of it.  I believe any major power ask of it what it wants; or pressure it with exorbitant demands.

--On to Egypt.  The military is a major force for peace in the country.  I've taken a lot of ideas from the Egyptian military--though the military does not appear to be respected here in the USA.  Bet they somehow have to allow the Muslim Brotherhood to be a major force in the new government.  I know the Egyptian government and military hate the Black Muslim Brotherhood but the latter must learn from the former!

--Onto Iran itself.  The country is struggling because of the sanctions.   However, due to current incredible support from other Muslim nations in the region, it is becoming the major power in the Middle East.  If the US wants to wedge into its power network, stand with it now!

--I've  named this item "the Final Question" because I must withdraw from any further discussion on  issues in the Middle East.  The Middle East is a well-worn topic.  I've got too many items, right now, I must deal with for world peace. Trust the US Military!
