#1 "Ground troops, air strikes, and rockets do not lead to permanent peace in the Middle East,"

I dunno. Mix in a couple low-yield nukes and you might have something. It worked for the Japanese.

#9 One twelve-aircraft ARCLIGHT strike from north to south across the Gaza strip, flown by pairs of B-1s (which can carry 80,000lb of conventional ordinance) would end the problem once and for all, and put the Fear of the US back into the Muddled East. Another three flown against the UN building in New York City wouldn't hurt the chances for peace. Anything else, not so much.

To get the Paleos to quit fighting, you either have to stomp them hard enough they can't get back up, or you have to scare them until their hair is white -- on newborns.
