Looking at a larger picture, he is seeing the problems as not solely being about Iraq. In fact, he cites that Iraq is not the "glaring" problem for the region, rather it is the Israeli-Palestinian/Israeli-Arab "problem".

Not a super-indepth article, but an interesting perspective...and yes, it's an AP article before someone starts wailing about it being sourced from FoxNews.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

He is one of the few sane voices in a region that.. unfortuneately...will continue to be a problem until ALL sides get tired of killing each other.

Personally I think they need about another 1000 years or so.. or one HUGE war.... since Georgieboy and friends believe in end days prophecies.... I guess everyone in the not too distant future are going to meet up at the little town of Meggido.

On the other hand, history is not an organism. The whole region or parts thereof has been in and out turmoil for centuries since the decline of the Ottomans.

It's been more or less cyclical, and we're currently in a trough. There's no sense in forecasts of doom extrapolated from the short term trendline.

My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

Indeed, and since the Palestinian/Israeli conflict pre-dates Iraq by mere centuries, your initial summation may be correct.

I know there is a GOD.... but with these two and the strife and war... I think the OTHER guy is talking to them....I guess you are another of those people reading a completely different bible.
