peace proposal I

Yes, it doesn't really make sense. As we poets know, life is a one ticket event. So to waste it on a war like this makes no sense for either side. Yet they do not want to stop.

Thanks Robert, it just keeps getting worse and worse. Hoping they can settle this once and for all (and I mean without violence).

Anaya, I am fearful this doesn't end up the way we would all like it to...that is in a manner where all sides can agree to end fighting. I am seeing more and more bad in the way this war is progressing...and it really saddens my heart. There was a story on American television today about an innocent Palestinian couple. Her husband died in a hospital after his foot was damaged and became infected. There were no drugs available to treat the individual. The side with obvious superior military power should have arranged for medical care for all the injured. This is but a small example of atrocity.

Silent One...good point. I don't think many people would be able to stand that kind of abuse. It's really a bad situation and getting worse every day.

SP, exactly! The sides in this conflict seem not ready for coexistence and mutual support that would make all their lives much better in the long run. The anger and hatred have become much too intense.

Thanks Vijay. In order for there to be peace, both sides have to be willing to see the value of it. It seems obvious to many of us that "living" can be a real joy. It breaks our hearts that so many people get cut off for reasons that seem illogical and foolish. How this is not seen by the parties in this war and those supplying arms is hard to fathom.
