""States of War" only apply between states.

EXACTLY - create the State of Palestine and you will definitely have a WAR - If so then for goodness sake this time let them fight it out to the finish.

Look at the complete and utter irrelevant idiotic bullshit and the players involved who plunged Europe into that fiasco known as the First World War - I look at Israel and Palestine and can see the same damn thing happening again.

One sliver of silver lining on the cloud is that because GWB and USA went into Iraq in 2003 we do not have:

1: Iran with a secret nuclear weapon
2: Syria with a secret nuclear weapon
3: Libya with a secret nuclear weapon
