We as humans have always resorted to fighting over different issues since the start of human race on this planet. Do you sincerely believe that war is the only solution to settling political problems between nations? Do the current problems in Middle east have no political solution?

Well I dont believe that these things have political solutions. Political solutions can only be acheived if both sides start with free minds. In the case of Middle East Israel has captured Palestinian areas and is not willing to give it back and then wants peace. Not possible. First both sides have to be sincere which I dont see happening in near future. You cannot call someone terrorist and at the same time expect cease fire from them. No honesty exists there.

The problems in the Middle East have existed since World War I and became worse when Israel was created following World War II. I don't know if there is any solution, diplomatic or otherwise. Does war solve problems. No. It creates more. But, without the threat of war, there's no reason for nations to cooperate and find a diplomatic solution to their problems.
