| #2 I'm not a game theory person, but I think I follow this. If I understand it correctly, we have these two perpetual wars because of outside support. Cut the outside support and those who most benefit from it will need to do something else. How do you convince these outside interests, in both regions, that it is no longer in their interest to continue this madness? Castrating the suppliers seems like it would be an effective deterrent, but how do you go about that? Seriously, with the modern intelligence capibilities, wouldn't it be possible to assinate some of the arms and money individuals? Nothing puts a damper on things like sharing your bed with a missle. I know that I've read that the Israelis found that going up the food chain of sucicide bombers, and killing the planners and plotters was more effective at reducing the bombing activity than just trying to stop the bombers themselves. We've used that same strategy successfully in Iraq. But maybe that is what is happening for Palestine. A couple of bigwigs in Syria have gotten knocked off by someone iun the last year. Don't know for sure who did it, but the others managing the Iran-Palestine connection are probably a bit more cautious now |
