Israel/Palestine

I don't know how it could happen, but out of all this carnage, fear and disruption, I look at the Middle East as ripe for a new, alternate path forward that, somehow, people realize all the old animosities are completely against they and their children's long term interests and they find that new path. I have often been accused of being an idealist with all too rosy colored glasses and I suppose my view here only puts a very fine point on that. Peace is the quickest way to cut bloated government budgets and allow investments that actually further the human potential.
