Can I get a show of hands please?  How many actually thought it would make any sort of difference in the Middle East peace process if President Bush visited?  How many think that this time it will be the time peace is brought to the Middle East?  No one, ok, then we are on the same page. 

What I want to know is how many times we are going to try to make peace between terrorists and people they swear to wipe out of existence?  How many times are we going to fail at this before we realize it can’t be done, regardless how badly we want it to work?  It will not work.  The problem runs so much deeper than it seen by the eye; it goes back two thousand years.  Peace is wanted by the outsiders, but I am sure both the Israelis and the Palestinians know it will never happen, nor is it wanted.  I see it kind of like one of those toys a small child has, where the child has to put the plastic square piece in the square hole, the circle piece in the circle hole, and so forth.  Hoping for peace in the Middle East is like putting the square piece in the circle hole.  Yeah, you can get a little part of the piece in the hole, but it obviously won’t fit right.  It is the same in this instance.

Carrying forth the aforementioned analogy, part of the reason this won’t “fit” is because Israel  Being a democracy and being economically successful, like Israel is, is incompatible with all of the square pieces around them, like the Palestinians that occupy their land.  And instead of shaving the edges off of the square to become more circular in shape, instead they would much rather destroy the circle so they won’t have to deal with it.  Apparently having a functioning country is unwanted.  News flash, it is 2008, not 1008. is the circle hole and the terrorists are the square piece.

If you look at anything that has been given to the Palestinians it is complete and utter crap.  I recall pictures of either Gaza or the West Bank, perhaps even both.  And they were utterly terrible; it even made the Hurricane Katrina aftermath look civilized.  They managed to turn inhabitable land Israel gave them into what resembles the rest of the Middle East, nothing.  They don’t build countries and societies; they run dictatorships and steal from their citizens.  And the Palestinians want your own country?  Seriously, what do the people do all day, other than, of course, make suicide bomb vests and crappy rockets they shoot aimlessly (mostly because they can’t aim them, partly just because, praying to Allah, they can wipe out some Zionists randomly).  I didn’t see any thriving businesses, schools, or anything of the like.  Not to mention that Israel has given the Palestinians much more opportunity than any other country has given them; all any other country, Muslim countries, has given them is a one way ticket out.  But apparently Israel is bad for not doing the same. 

 President Bush was just there a few days ago touting some unachievable hope for peace. What else is new?  Does anyone keep track of the numerous times and amount of wasted money we’ve wasted on this before?  And then today on the news I see an Israeli city, one mile from the border with the terrorists, who got rockets rained down on them.  Apparently it is a daily occasion.  I’d imagine you could get cheap property there!  One of the rockets went through a house, into a room where two young children were playing just seconds before.  I guess when the warning sirens go off they have seven seconds, yes, seven seconds to take cover.  The children, one of their mothers, and a nine year old were injured somewhere between lightly and moderately.  Perhaps peace means something different over there.  Or the hot sun has caused them to become disorientated.

These people don’t want peace.  They just want to turn Israel from a thriving country into a piece of crap like the rest of the Middle East.  The Palestinians haven’t shown any reason as to why they should get their own homeland since they only terrorize that of others.  Plus, if you look strictly at the land already foolishly given to them, give me three good reasons why this proves they are deserving of more land to turn into a cesspool  Firing the daily rockets randomly into Israel certainly isn’t a peaceful gesture.  And they have the audacity to wonder why it is Israel occasionally responds and kills several Palestinians.  I would do the same if rockets were endlessly fired at me.  I guarantee you that the rocket firers would be dealt with in a way which would prohibit them from ever firing another rocket.  Mind you, not because I was the aggressor; rather, because I am the retaliator.  In addition to lacking the common knowledge of keeping and sustaining a functioning government and country, they seem to also lack common sense.  Big surprise. 

Rocket attacks speak louder than “promises” of peace.
