Can't see how continually stirring up a hornets nest does any good.
You might just have to back off, get stung a few times and let it rest
till all parties are in a more talkative mood.

We are beset by terrorists because of our ongoing support for the invasion
of Palistine and the slow eradication of its indigineous Muslim population
by Jewish outsiders. These terrorist attacks can only worsen as the last
Palistinians are either killed or driven out. I cannot blame either side
because there is plenty of blame to go around. The original Jewish European
invaders had been driven from their homes by Nazis then kept from returning
by their Christian neighbors, leaving them no place to go. The Palistinians
have no effective weapons with which to fight Israeli helo's and artillery
so they become suicide bombers - terrorists if you will. Now their allies
such as Al Quida are attacking Israel's allies. We can say "If. If, If" but
it will never end until Israel has eradicated all of the Palistinians or
vice versa. Slick Willy Clinton had a compromise deal almost tied up - until
the current PM of Israel defiled a mosque. And that'll go on and on .... so
long as people are stupid enough to believe that Abraham met the all-seeing
creator of the universe hoofing across a desert to check on rumors, fed him
a veal sandwich, and was given half the middle east in return for
circumcising himself and all the men in his household - because that belief
is the cornerstone of Judism, Chritianity and Islam. The belief itself isn't
the problem, the problem is people are stupid enough to believe it.

My solution? I dunno - maybe hire some ex-KGB agents to come up with
something. After all the Balkans became much like the middle east after they
went home. Maybe a dose of stalinism would help straighten out the region.
But not to worry - the Yellowstone Caldera will take care of it.
