9. The source
This will go on and become worse until we cure the source of this diss-ease. First there must be peace agreements between Israel and its neighbors. Without that basic foundation, nothing else will get better. Even when those agreements are concluded, there will continue to be lingering violence, but it be sporadic and diminishing. That's how hatred goes.

Now crazy friggin george's violence in Iraq doesn't help, but without those agreements in the ME, everything is much more complicated.

We and the rest of the planet is putting up with this insanity which is caused by a small fraction of the world's people. Both sides, the governments who pay the armed guards, and the non-governmental armed perps feed from the same trough of civil unrest. There are real threats, and there are real grievances, but none of this will be settled with bullets.

What we are witnessing is a lack of honest leadership from just about every country in the world, especially our own country's complete governmental breakdown. If we can somehow change ourselves, we might have a chance.
