I'm just reminded, there will never be peace in the Middle East:
It's not just the Palestinians who have problems with violence religious extremists. In the past few weeks, conservative Jews (Haredi) have rioted in Jerusalem, in opposition to the government allowing cars to park near Haredi neighborhoods on Saturday (the Sabbath). To the north, Arab Christian and Druze (a Moslem sect considered heretical by most Moslems) mobs clashed over a YouTube video the Druze believed showed disrespect for one of their religious leaders. In both cases, there were injuries to police and rioters, and some property damage. Such violence is common in the region, even in Israel.
Even if the Ayatollah's came down in Iran, other fanatics would fill in their shoes. They fight over nothing over there. They fight over patches of dirt and posters of religious leaders. All we can hope for are the least radical to be in control. I fear peace in the Middle East, because it'll probably only happen after a massacre or genocide.
