My previous post was based on the belief that it is impossible to separate the physical and spiritual parts of life. What is in a person's heart will be manifested in their life and actions. We can think of political solutions all day long, but until people's hearts are cured of hate they will be so many words on paper. Only when forgiveness triumphs will wars cease.
RC, I respect your opinion as much as I respect anyone else's on this site. But I don't know if the conditions you lay down will be met. I think increasingly the world's attention will be focused on that region and the state of Israel. I don't think it will ever be possible for the US to develop a "hands off" policy.
