The unfortunate part is that those related problems have
been around for many generations. Rather than address the issues in a manner
that demonstrates a willingness to compromise they would rather pursue a
win-lose outcome. No matter how much help they may receive from others, they
usually end up reverting back to the winner takes all approach. We think we are
doing them a favour when we keep sticking our nose where it is really not
welcomed. Perhaps we should let them sort out their problems as intervening
seems to only provide a temporary lull to a problem that appears fundamental
to their identity.

Bedlam Comes To Egypt
The middle-eastern part of the world seems to have more than
their share of problems. In recent history, it has been in Afghanistan and
Iraq. Notwithstanding the U.S. led military intervention, they are still
killing each other over there. They like their suicide bombers. Then came Libya
and Syria with the Arab spring revolution. Toss in a few skirmishes between the
Palestinians and the Israelis. Egypt is now going down the same path. Unrest in
Iran is probably not far behind. Let’s admit it, people in that part of the world
love to kill each other.
