Roots of the Problem in the Mid East?

Simple Simon Bush believes the root to the present Middle East problem is Hezbollah. Apparently Hezbollah, like the Universe, was created out of nothing. Our diplomatic approach, solving the problem by solving the problem, is typical of this administration's Simple Simon approach to every possible solution. The root of the problem is the non-acceptance of the Arabs worldwide to the existence of Israel, a State created by a movement and "legitimized" by the UN. Israel did not come into being out of a vacuum and if the problem of Israel is to be solved its origins needs to be included in the general category of "Roots of the Problem".
Another part of the "roots to the problem" not being discussed by the U.S. is all those settlements in the West Bank. That is another "root of the problem" . I'm not siding with the Arabs to the extent of eliminating Israel but some consensus is necessary for any problem to be solved and speaking in a vacuum is not going to get the job done and our long term security is at stake here. That is as long as we need Arab oil. By the way the Arabs weren't the first ones to use bombs to inspire terror--the Israelis were the first to use bombs as a terror weapon in order to get back at the Arabs for attacking their Kibutzes. The conflict did not begin in 1948 but in 1929 and even before.
Writing up resolutions may establish legitimacy for military or diplomatic actions but are just words on paper without substance if there is no resolve and might to back them up.
Bush's continuing to use Democracy to legimitimize military actions has worn thin around the world and frankly his use of it is a propaganda slogan like so many other words he has used--freedom for instance. Everytime he can't think of something to say he will interject Democracy, freedom, terrorists etc. Has anyone thought to summarize what he managed to say into English? It is gibberish--and this is our Great Leader? Another person in his administration who uses slogans is Condi Rice. She is a little more clever at appearing to say something without really saying anything--and the Media fawns all over her thinking she has answered their questions, which in actuality she has spoken a bunch of "glittering generalities". Come on people, wake up!
