At some point in time we need to understand that not every race or nationality needs to have it's own country.

Take the Middle East out of it, and replace it with - say - Europe. The Basque. They are a unique culture and consider themselves a nationality, based mostly in France and Spain. They two have been involved in terrorist acts, mostly bombings, and mostly to try to gain attention to their cause. However, does this give them the right to have their own country? Should France and Spain suddenly take one third or one fourth of their country, and turn it over to the Basque so they can create their own country? What about the French and Spanish citizens who live in these areas? Should they be removed from their homes? By force? Who will compensate them?

And thus is the problem. Not every race or nationality will have it's own land, it's own country, and it's right to self determination.
