Didn't want to hijack nostatic's thread.

I know there is no answer but just for conversation.

The middle east, Iraq hates Iran, everyone hates Israel, and so on...

You ask why this is so in a modern age and usually you get "because it has always been that way"

American civil war... America and England fight it out... lots of people died.

Fast forward to today... anyone messes with mother England and America will kick you a$$!!! Now lets go out for fish and chips.

WWII... Germany bombs the poop out of England... England and America bomb the crap out of Germany... lots of people die... Japan attacks America... America NUKES Japan... lots of people die.

Fast forward to today... lets jump in out German car and go out for sushi!

Yes, I am grossly oversimplifying those two historical events but my point being less than a hundred years ago the Japanese and Germans were openly vilified in, posters, cartoons, movies that depicted them as being the embodiment of evil.

Now we have awakened that we are just human beings and pretty much the same and made nice with our previous enemies.

So why is it the middle east can't get the epiphany that we all are part of the human race and stop wasting their resources fight each other?
