I agree with you that people in the middle east need peace to be imposed on them, but what defines peace here? If you can live in a house, any house, if you can provide for your family, if your children can walk to school ever day, if you can relax after work and spend time with your kids, then you have achieved the most basic and important type of peace there is. Now the comparison with Germany and Japan are great, but they fail to address the fact that they are not occupied today, they were briedly occupied in order to impose the peace as you say, but they are free people today, with full sovreignty. I wonder how this can be provided for the Palestinians, how can the millions of refuges benifit from this peace? How can sovreignty of ones land, borders and skies by restored? What do you think?
