I don't understand what you meant about a "nice" conflict good for Europe/USA, could you elaborate on this subject?
The three most influencial lobby's in the US are the weapons industry, the oil industry and the jews (american israelis). (because of the huge wealth these three groups posses)
1st weapons industry: not only the weapons they can sell to the israelis (I know israel has a very large weapons industry itsself) but also the ones that via via arrive to the arab countrys and the palestinians.
I think most conflicts escalate under influence of the weapons industry, (but I have no proof of this of course)
I wonder where that satelite is with which they " found" all those WMD in Iraq
, in north korea it was the higher level of Krypton in the air to prove there was another nuclear plant?!?! But that is another topic.
2nd the oil industry: it is very important that america has a base in the middle east....this situation has changed a bit lately of course because of the crises in Irak, Iran, Afghanistan and the cooled relations with saudi arabia (israel is the only sure ally of the USA)
3rd the israeli lobby is very influencial, and makes sure america will keep supporting israel (for obvious reasons)
The weapons are of course the most important reason to keep the conflict running, the other two are more in favour of direct "victory" for israel....... (as i realize now) Maybe there is also a rich palestinian lobby??.
Well I will think about it some more...keeps the brains working!
Nice thread by the way,
