ZFBoxcar, A religion consists of two parts. Its followers AND its theory. The billion or so Muslims in the world aren't part of 1 religion. There are different sects, just like in judaism and christianity. You supporting the Israeli cause is fine by me, but must others suffer so that Yisrael could prosper ? Yisrael's main rival before 1978 was Egypt, now they don't have any other rival to worry about. The IAF ran over the SAF in lebanon, its very clear they have no worthy regional rivals.

Its not about Israel's fears, its about the good of the Muslim world. I'm not talking about threats to Israel's existance I'm talking about the effect that perpetual "war" is having on the mentality of the average Muslim and Israeli. Israelis have developped a siege mentality. While Muslims have developped a 'unity' mentality which prevents open, honest debate and reform from taking place.

ZFBoxcar, you are right about civilization decline. History has also proven that no empire, no matter how great it is will survive .

Depends what you mean by survive. By stemming the tides of change, a civilization IS likely to collapse. But if change does not mean destruction, they don't have to die.
