Well to honestly answer your question, I think the people need more information and in this world this information shouldn't be too hard to come across. First, who stands to gain from this war or this fighting whether Israel, Palestine, Lebanon etc. The US has their hands in this, so does Britain so who is going to profit, big business and then once we know this, we need a more lucrative opportunity for them or we need a grand distraction (i.e. Mars as some of you mentioned). I don't think people will go for the greater good line.

The movie "Men In Black" had a great quote "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. " And to reach one person is possible, to reach a mass of people is a life challenge. And we in the United States (not all) are too concerned with our own individual lives to take the world's problems and try to solve them. We count on our elected officials to make the right decisions and keep us safe so we can work our 8 to 5 job, drive our Porsche and go to sleep at night.
