wow dawg they fight a lotta wars
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the middle east has taken part in many a war.
ReplyDeleteHave they ever had a period of detante?
ReplyDeleteThere definitely has been no down time at all to what is going on over there. I start to think about how this has affected generations of families and wonder if certain families ever say enough is enough and start to produce change.
ReplyDeleteThe conflict between Arabs and Israelis seems to be very long and strenuous. These wars represent just how much hatred and tension is between middle eastern countries, and its definitely going to take a lot of planning and effort to try and solve the problems.
ReplyDeleteWell, let’s be honest. What else do they have to do with their lives but fight with each other? It’s not like they have serious problems, like terrorism, lack of education and clean water and healthy food…they have time to spare to spend fighting each other about religious and territorial conflicts!
ReplyDeleteI half expected this and half didn't. Either way the facts are disturbingly shocking.
