The whole Middle-East has been pretty screwed up over the past few thousand years mainly because of Religion (what a joke). It didn't help that Israel (mostly Jewish) choose to place its country in the center of Hell (surrounded by anti-semetic countries). The situation will remain hostile as long as their are very religious people in that area. It's a shame.

"It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.
-- Galen Strawson"

Sorry if I offended anyone. I just am really pissed off at the whole situation!
