Wow, talk about oversimplifying to a rediculous extent. Do you have any idea how complicated the situation in the middle east is? It goes back to centuries and centuries of conflict and hate. How could you possibly expect one man to be able to solve the problem. The fact that he even made a tiny scratch on the surface of them problem is a huge testimony to how much he accomplished in life. On a side note, I'm not remotely religious, at all, so don't think that I'm writing this because I feel obligated to defend him from a religious standpoint. I do however follow the situation in the middle east, and not only the present situation, but the history of the conflict and the major events from the past few decades. Judging by your post, you barely have even the slightest idea of how complex the problem really is.
