They just don't respect anything but a severe smackdown. And I'm also convinced that racism is at the very heart of the entire problem.
Maybe, but then they get up and lob a plane into your tallest building.

All big entities make enemies, but when you make too many you end up in hot water. Welcome to the United States of America.

They've been picking off the leaders for quite a while now, buggar all effect, wonder if knocking off Bin Laden will have a lack of impact. They would have to kill every last Palestinian then probably go on to every other Arab country that wants to avenge those deaths then all the friends and relatives of those who died and on and on to completely solve it that way.

Maybe the real reason the Arabs hate the Jews is racism and historically they've believed the Jews were inferior?
Probably part of it, don't think holding their holy site helps either, but that is one messy issue. Al the Anti-racism stuff in the first world makes me laugh, he we are protecting the rights of a minority who are unbelievably produced against us, but they are a minority so it’s all ok...

One memorable incident at school, which despite being about 50/50 Asian/White usually has zero racial problems, comes to mind(ok that’s not true, but they don’t usually come out in public, under the surface its one big-ass simmering pot). During one of the rare fights at our school lwhich happened between an asian and white they called each other skip and chink. When teachers turned up and this came to light the White kid got suspended, the Asian got a detention......

Wow now that was off topic.

Maybe we're there because supporting some form of status quo, no matter how screwed up, maintains the flow of oil?
Peace is in everyone’s interest but particularly the firs world, we want the oil. OPEC has a history of using oil to get thing south of us.
