The time for the other solution has come and gone. In addition, the
Israelis are perfectly capable of making their own weapons. They built
atomic bombs without our help. They even help other countries, such as
China and Pakistan, build weapons. And of course, the Muslim nations would
also have to stop sending weapons to Palestine. What you have, really, is a
first world nation at war with a third world nation plus the whole of Islam.
As they proved in 1967, you'd be smart to bet on the first world nation.
The Muslims are little better armed now than they were then. Just buying
weapons doesn't make them well armed any more than buying boxing gloves
makes someone a boxer. It's the years of training and the ability to think
in modern terms that gives the Israelis the edge and like I've said before,
the Muslims want to take us back a few centuries. It's the changes the
Western nations are making to the world they're really fighting against.
Our whole way of life is blasphemous to what they are preaching. IMHO.
