Are you suggesting there will never be peace in the Middle East? If peace is possible, what is going to initiate it? I beleive peace is possible, and I beleive representative governments will lead to peace. I think the average person, anywhere in the world wants to take care of thier families, have liberty, and the ability to make the most of their lives. Those who want instability and who want to control the lives of others are loosing power

Yet you realize that in all those wars you listed, it was AMERICANS fighting for AMERICAN freedom. Of course freedom is not free, but what makes it our duty to pay for the middle easts "freedom and stability" with American lives?
Is the cost worth chancing a "maybe" gain? A gain that would still probably be unlasting in that Iraq has been rather volatile for a VERY long time and while probably contunue to be so.
