I think Israel needs to look within for the answer to its problems with the Arabs.
Our society is becoming unstable. I don’t know how much longer they will be able to count on the United States for help.
For those who claim that we need to find a political solution, not a military one in Iraq, I'd like to point them to the current situation in Israel. It's a direct result of political solutions, since Israel has never been allowed to finish winning wars it didn't start. Once it became apparent that Israel was winning, either the UN or a superpower would step in to keep Israel from completely defeating her enemies. I'm affraid that the only way we're going to see peace between Israel and the arab/muslim countries will be through war where either Israel defeats her enemies to the point that they're no longer able to wage war, or Israel is destroyed. THAT'S the only way to achieve peace.

Robert Heinlein stated the symptoms of a sick or dying society... The current US society is showing those signs he predicted as a dying society... Unfortunately, migrating off-planet just isn't an option at this time.
