The reason there hasn’t been peace in the middle east is because Israel was repeatedly halted from ensuring their enemies could no longer wage war.
Same thing with the USA. The last peace was achieved with the end of WWII.
When the pols step in and stop the military from completing the destruction of the enemy’s ability to wage war, we simply set ourselves up for perpetual war... Maybe not right away, but in time...
Dr Sowell is absolutely right.

Amen, well said.
