In other threads I have pointed to the frustration that has built up over the situation in the Middle East. I repeat myself, but Marty D encourages me to comment further. There are over two million refugees, most still in camps and shack towns. With numbers like that disposessed and able to find only the most menial of jobs, revenge takes over the thought processes, the field is ripe for the development of the worst sort of terrorists, those with just one thought in mind, to wreak havoc on a people who support the destruction wrought by an invading people, not natives of the area but from all the countries of Europe and even America. Everyday more of their area (they are in the UN but it can hardly be called a country) is taken over by new settlers and a growing population of old ones. They are on the verge of losing Jerusalem completely, a holy city to Muslims. Is it any wonder that the most primitive of fundamentalists rise to power and incite religious war? The point has been reached where only armed separation of the opposing forces by the UN can begin to bring some stability, but we will face terrorist attacks for a long time to come. Of course, the terrorist cells must be neutralized, but they are a symptom only; like hydra, cutting of one head only leads to more unless the underlying causes of the frustration are treated.
