I think its all about Isreal. As a nation we need to face the question of Isreal's right to exist. If the answer is yes - it means war. If the answer is no - we need to leave the middle east alone.

Does Isreal have the right to exist?
My opinion, not until they learn to get along with others and not rely on the US and UK to bail them out when their leaders decide that they need to flex muscle.
I liken Isreal to that punk kid in grade school that tries to butt into everyone else's game and tells everyone else how to play. Eventually the other kids get tired of being told how to do things by this one kid so they start to think about beating him...... problem is it's not just him, he has 2 older brothers who are truly tough and have the strength. The older brothers back the kid no matter what he does, no matter how wrong it is.
Eventually, the other kids find ways to beat the big brothers also.
Isreal wants to exist...... Isreal needs to find a way to work a peace with their neighbors plain and simple.
I no longer buy into the "poor us surrounded by people who hate us, so we're armed to the teeth and they refuse to talk peace". It's bullshit.
NO ONE on this planet in any type of power truly wants Armeggedon (unless they are truly certifiably insane). I don't think Iran's leaders want war anymore than the Chinese leaders or the French or the British or the Canadians or whomever.
Perhaps if we just sat down with the Iranians and truly asked their leaders what they wanted maybe we could find middle ground.
But instead we have the punk kid Isreal, dictating to us, taking BILLIONS of our dollars in "aid" telling us how we are going to handle this situation.
It's time to let the punk kid fend for himself and tell him to either get along with his neighbors or not, but shut the Hell up and keep us out of it.
It's time we look at our own country and see how things are falling apart and work to rebuild our own infrastructure and lives.
It deeply saddens me that people are so eager or have given up for whatever reason, and just decided war is the only solution.
The true solution is to just stop aiding the neighborhood bully that starts all the shit. I have a feeling you pull their aid, they'll find a way to make peace REAL FAST with their neighbors or they go to war end all of it.
But we also need to be firm with Isreal and say if they start the war, WE'LL finish it and them.
Plain and simple.
