An Answer for the Middle East … ( 09 / 09 / 2014 )
First of all , please know that I realize fully well that the " powers that be " don ' t really want peace in the Middle East ; that I comprehend fully that -- despite decades of desperate cries and bemoaned pleadings from the millions of innocent civilians caught in the bloody crossfire between political juggernauts lusting over land and religious zealots slavering over " salvation " -- violence & bloodshed & ignorance & hatred will probably continue to continue in that region of the world ... at least for the foreseeable future .
AND YET -- as has happened in similar situations over & over & over again throughout human history – real & lasting Peace will indeed eventually win out there as well . The 90 % of the people who yearn for a resolution to conflict -- those masses of " everyday folk " who don ' t care about the religion or the gender or the color or the culture of their neighbors ; those folks who just want to be able to head to the grocery store or take their children to school without fearing for their lives -- will indeed one day rise up as one and demand Forgiveness ... and Acceptance ... and Solidarity ... and Peace .
And that is exactly what they will one day receive ... ALL OF THEM .
Of course , until that day arrives , they will all remain shackled to the currently greedy & still bloodthirsty whims of their supposed " leaders "; " leaders " who up until now have shown no desire whatsoever to effectuate a cease-fire of any substance or sincerity .
AND YET -- again -- just in case any of those " leaders " ( or anyone related to them ) is listening . I do have an immediate solution to the problem ; I do have a practical path to Peace . Just in case any of you " powerful people " -- you government officials , you religious chiefs , you corporate kings – just in case any of you who could actually speed up the process of bringing Peace to your ravaged lands -- just in case any of you are listening , how about trying the following :
* How about giving Palestinians a homeland commensurate in size with their population …
* How about getting rid of that ridiculous wall the Israelis ( and their American funders ) have built around Gaza …
