Looking at the gap, it seems economical crises can stop wars.
@crazyeddie You forget that Clinton and Obama inherited "their" wars from the Bush Georges and that they focused on ending these wars.
Any other Democrats involved in wars in middle east?
Add 12, but yeah.
@martin personally, I like the thought-experiment of ‘what if we gave them southern Utah?’ Already nicknamed Zion. Locals are fanbois who call themselves The Chosen. Some ecological similarities. A desert, albeit colder. Would have pissed off some locals. Better proximity to colleges, industry, cities. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And at least it was really-truly OURS.
What we’ve done to Palestinians was reprehensible.

Not that you’re predictable, but let me just offer your next whattaboutism:
“Israel negates or denies the atrocities it committed, claiming that many of the expelled Palestinians left willingly or that their expulsion was necessary and unavoidable.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba
@jef in the spirit of solving solveable problems, perhaps the middle eastern nations will benefit from resolving and reconciling their local differences peaceably, organising together into a coalition of mutual prosperity, and take the necessary action to end this recurring invasion massacre once and for all at the place where it originates.
there is no valid reason at all for there to be another American invasion after this American invasion.
it would save innocent lives.
