    The fighting will continue. It's a family matter and we should butt out.

    about 4,000 years of the same killing and destruction. Just different weapons, same blood spilled. Human arrogance keeps westerns thinking we can "talk the crazies" into peace.

    This. And when theirs runs out in a few decades, the Middle East will go back to being the dusty a##hole of the earth that no one cares about (like current-day sub-Saharan Africa). Ain't nothing gonna change - it's just that no one will care.

    The focus resource of 2100 - fresh water.

    I've studied my religion a little bit. I'm aware of the claimed relation between the Hebraic people and the Arabs.

    2 words for you, fusion & desalination. I would hope that by 2100 fusion is a reality. That solves the water problem.
