THE MIDDLE EAST EXPLAINED.

Israel thinks Syria has ulterior motives in their complaints over some border clashes. Do ya think? When it comes to the middle east, every country has ulterior motives about everything that happens. I remember they once lived in harmony. Then Cain slew Able. It was all downhill from there. If you wonder why they can't come to some solution where all it's neighbor recognize Israel and Israel gives up the lands it took in the various wars it had with it's neighbors, then you don't understand the middle eastern mind. Basically, these folks don't like each other. In fact there's some reason to believe that they don't like themselves any more than they like their neighbors. In most parts of the world neighbors get along with each other. Take North Korea and South Korea as an example. Well, no, don't take them, let's instead take Nepal and China, no wait, that's not a good example either. How about Turkey and Greece? No, not them either. Okay, how about America and Canada. Wait a minute. America is a continent in which Canada is one country. Well I meant the United States and Canada. Okay, that's better, those two countries do get along pretty well, except when the U.S. forgets that it doesn't own Canada. Canada isn't the fifty first state, ya know. See, it's not so much that the middle eastern countries don't get along so much as that most countries don't get along all that well. The difference is that most countries have decided to get along to go along. In other words, if you can't stop fighting, you're never going to progress. Well in the middle east, they believe that fighting isn't so bad and progress isn't all it's cracked up to be. Come to think of it, progress isn't all it's cracked up to be. But then, neither is fighting.
