think you will find it is the other way around, the west namely the us has had its explosive finger in the middle east decade upon decade. yes there are extremists, but is fighting for your religion's or your country's sovereignty a bad thing. in world war II it was called the resistance, now it is called terrorism. the means of violence have changed but the principle is the same. in the end if people would just stand up to their governements and say 'fuck you i'm not fighting you war' it would be much smaller. however the way which people are recruited in the poor demographics so they can eat and the zealots that just order their citizens into mandatory service it tragic. people who beleive peace can exist on the earth are blind and foolish. do you remember a time since you were born where there has not been a war somewhere in the world. humans are not peaceful people, we can aim for that utopia but dystopia is the reality. and make your votes count if you want things to change. but lets face it with out war all the gun toting psychos would be roaming the streets (if you are american ignore last sentence). as far as the palestine israel thing goes, i can't comment because our news does nothing but update the conflict like a sports score. what i can say though it is a whole lot more graphic because we (australia) are not involved. so it's ok to see kids being killed because it isn't our soldiers doing it.
