The Diversity of Opinions on Iraq, Syria, Iran, Israel and Nuclear Arguments is remarkable

Will there ever be peace in the Middle East one might ask? And as much as folks try to negotiate, well there is just too much hate in the world these days, especially there, and the tensions are perpetually tense even in times of no real fighting. It seems there is a diversity of opinions about the Middle East from India to Turkey to Egypt to Yemen.

In fact, not long ago, I was talking with a Middle Eastern raised individual who is very much against the Us involvement in tribal areas of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, and its withhold of Israel. This isn't well all that surprising, as such opinions are quite common in the Middle East. Specifically he believed the United States make a mistake with the second Iraq gulf war, and doesn't want to see it happen again in Iran or Syria citing the potential for added destabilization of the region.

He believes this would incite Al Qeada, Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations [10-more of which are Hq'ed in Syria] to band together to charge a common enemy namely the Western Powers. Yes, this is one estimate and yet, we might also look at the consequences of a nuclear weaponized Iran or Syria also.

The Middle Eastern raised individual also notes that currently; "the terrorist are quite weak and decentralized," and this individual realizes that Iran wants nuclear weapons because Pakistan has them on one border and its arch nemesis Israel has them nearby too. Another guess Syria is seeking nuclear weapons even though Israel blew up and attacked their nuclear plant which was built with help from North Korea. [as per leaked reports and Israeli Intelligence].

Meanwhile most Middle Easterners believe that Israel has been "aggressive" towards Lebanon, Syria, and the Palestinian area. But, indeed, Israel has been defending itself from terrorist bus bombings, and rocket barrages too. He believes that just because Israel does not want Iran to have nuclear weapons is not a good guess for the Us to stop Iran and intervene or cause trade sanctions which hurt Iran.

Still, I asked him, well; can Iran be trusted with nukes? To which he states; "I think Iran has every right to form it and habitancy often say we don't trust Iran's leadership but I think if we could trust Israel with nuclear weapons than why not Iran?" So, even though Iran uses insurgents and terrorist organizations to serve its political will, he seems to think this is okay - which is very problematic if the Iran lends a few nuclear weapons to such folks isn't it?

So, I have some more questions for folks who might agree with his summation of the geo-political affairs of the region such as; what would they have done in Iraq and do you believe that the Us should not charge Iran, and what are your thoughts on a Palestine nation someday? And yes, what about the proxy terrorist issues, do folks in the Middle East believe that Iran will not give nuclear weapons to proxy terrorist groups and what are their thoughts about Syria hosting 10-terrorist groups (Hq'ed) in their nation?

Here is Another concept, what might they say to the issues of an unbalanced power base now in Iran as opposed to Iraq, as if Iran is attacked and the forces is destroyed then wouldn't that re-balance the power in the region? And I ask these folks who withhold Syria and Iran with nuclear weapons if they feel that Israel does not have the right to protect itself against Hamas and Hezbollah rocket attacks? And too that point do they feel that Iran has the right to protect itself with "Offensive" tactical and Icbm nuclear weapons - then wouldn't that also mean you'd agree that Israel has the right to defend its little nation there too? My guess is that many in the Middle East would never side with Israel no matter what, thus such discussions can well never get very far? Please reconsider all this.
