First of all, I don't side with either, both sides are like retarded kid-brothers that fight continuously. I don't want to hear about their never ending tribal-religious fights.
Secondly, it is all civilians doing the fighting as far as I am concerned, not a professional military under a central command.
As long as the mothers of middle east raise their children to solve problems by fighting, and their sons are willing to sacrifice their siblings, nothing will change, and somehow I don't feel sorry for either.
I come form the Poland that was oppressed and drained dry by Russia and communists, my mother was active in opposition movement "Solidarność", but she never conveyed to me a lesson that if I blow myself, or blow up whole lot of Russian civilians with a racket, or a bomb, then somehow I become a martyr and solve all my country's problems, that is not how we solve problems, that is how primitive tribes solved their problems in seventh century.
There is a time to fight, in all-out wars such as when Hitler attacked most of the Europe, or Japan attacked USA, but then it is clear why you fight and what is to be lost and gained.
