Alan You don't want a history lesson? Well you're going to bloody get one. Ever heard of Resolution 242? United Nations, November 22nd 1967? Never actioned because for 40 years USA has vetoed it? You talk about UN being ineffective. As far as Arabs are concerned, it is ineffective because USA prevents it from being effective.To them this proves that Americans are not interested in justice. You want to conquer terrorism in Middle East? Start here. These are the precise words of that resolution (and, believe me, these are some of the most important words in the Middle East): "November 22 1967 The Security Council, Expressing its continuing concern with the grave situation in the Middle East, Emphasizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war, that all Member States in their acceptance of the Charter of the United Nations have undertaken a commitment to act in accordance with Article 2 of the Charter, 1. Affirms that the fulfilment of Charter principles requires the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East which should include the application of both the following principles: (i) Withdrawal of Israel armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict; (ii) Termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of every State in the area and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." end of quote THat's your answer
