Why no peace? Why has the conflict gone on so long? It is very simple, because due to international pressure and public opinion Israel has adopted a “tit for tat” strategy. This leads to no victory for either side and a state of continuous war. The way to end a conflict is DECISIVELY DEFEAT your enemy. This is done by inflicting so much damage and horror on them that they beg for peace. There must be no doubt in their mind that they are defeated. You can not do this with “smart bombs” or concerns about collateral damage. Look at pictures of German cities after WWII, there is total devastation. That is how you win wars.
Agreed. Now war was ever won using a defensive strategy. Current tactics are designed to remove the Muslim means to engage in war. This will never work as they still have the will to wage war. The conflict must result destroying their will to wage war. Ragarding terrorist acts by individuals. Somebody is training them, encouraging them and sending them. The only way to stop it is to find who is pulling their strings and make the prospect of a terrorist act too horrible to contemplate. The Muslim leaders are men of the "world" not men of God. We must destroy their world and make it very personal.
Ditto what you said.
