Iraqi Missiles Attack Israel
- Share via
This war is not about oil. It’s about the age-old cultural and religious differences between East and West, especially regarding religion.
In the short range, the West has invoked the rule of international law to try and get the East’s attention and compliance. In the long range, mutual understanding must take priority over religion and culture, beginning with a concerted effort to solve the Palestinian problem. Arab versus Jew can no longer be allowed to fester. And the U.S. no longer can afford to keep bailing out Israel.
