Watching the events unfold on TV, the thing that strikes me about the landscape of Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan is a zillion square miles that all look alike. Nobody there. Desert. No water.
Providing water would make all this land viable living space with room for everyone. Expensive? hell yes but what are we, and others, spending now on weapons and aid.
Would this solve everything? Hell no. The cultural clash and deep seated hate would still be there, but that could be addressed. It's like the 'hood, the cultural rubs are exerbated by physical rubs.
BTW, I read Isreal gets 40% of it's water from captured lands.
