More War In The World

The whole middle east is posturing for more war, The Isrealis, Palistinians, Syria, Iran, India, Pakistan and Iraq. It seems the radicals of various sects are in fact causing unrest in the whole area, and all players are reacting.
It seems that the radical, militant extremists are at war with the world. They sucked us into Afghanistan and Iraq, now they are causing problems that could bring all out war to the world. I wish I had an answer to it but I don't. It's easy to say they should solve their differences peacefully, but they won't. All sides would need to agree to negotiate a peace, but all sides are not willing to look for a peaceful means, they seem to hold military options, or terror as the first line of defense. As long as this option is first, the wars will continue.
War and killing is bad, but if these people are determined to kill each other, then let them have at it, but it doesn't stop there, near countries are blamed and feel threatened, countries take sides and the whole mess escalates. If there are solutions I would sure like to know them, morals, common sense, and values don't work.
This mess will affect the world in ways we don't see right now, and not just in the cost of lives of these people. It brings instability to the world, between countries, economies, the works.
As I have said before, it is a global problem, it is about time that all counties stop supporting sectarian violence, and say enough. We can send spacecraft to distant planets, but we can't find a way, as neighbors to all get along. It seems we are no further ahead now than we were a couple thousand years ago. The only real difference is, now we can kill more people faster than before. What a legacy for the human race!

I don't know if the US invasion of Iraq added fuel to this fire, but I'm guessing it just may have.

You're right we haven't evolved past killing one another when we don't agree.

Plus we are always seeking bigger weapons that will kill more people faster. Go figure.

It does seem like we will never learn. I am worried.
