The problem is I don't think we'll see that happen until people stop taking religion so seriously... and we're a _long_ way from there.

The central problem is the Middle East is that - on all sides, you have 2 general groups of people:

1) Push for peace

2) Feel that if Peace ever happens in the Middle East, the Apocolypse will come, as prophesied.

So, you have people on all fronts whose entire aim is to make sure that Peace never breaks out in the Middle East... as they feel that would signify the end of the world. So, they perpetuate war to save the world.

Fucked up Catch 22, imho.
