King Abdullah wants Obama to impose a Middle East Peace plan by, I suppose, leaning on Israel.

Tell you what King, I'm really tired of everybody and their brother bitching about the USA and what they do or don't do in the Middle East so why don't you impose a peace plan yourself? You and the entire UAE have grown rich and comfortable getting others to fight your battles for you. You have your own army. Use it. You know what your and the other Arab armies are actually worth in the field don't you? When Saddam invaded Kuwait, you couldn't get US troops on your common border fast enough. Your troops would probably have outrun Kuwait's troops. Look at the speed at which the coalition removed Saddam from Kuwait. Look at the speed at which the US and it's allies removed Saddam from control of Iraq. Look at the durations of all the Arab-Israeli wars. Note on the '73 war. Yes Israel got aid from the USA but had already begun turning the battle before signifigant aid rolled in. Not to mention the opposite side was equipped with top of the line Soviet stuff. The Syrians even had night vision. The Arab armies got whipped on tactics and the fact that Egypt should have held their positions and told the Syrians to stuff themselves. Egypt was the only country that really gave Israel a run for their money and now have a peace treaty with Israel, along with Jordan, and these treaties seem to be working.
Look at the Iraq-Iran war. What, 8 years or so in duration and nobody gained anything. I suppose you could argue that was a Persian-Arab war but you get the general drift. Assuming you could talk Obama into stopping aid to Israel, you still couldn't take them down. Even without the USA, there will still be plenty of nations willing to sell them arms and the Israelis will put them to good use.
If they ever take the handcuffs off of oil production at home, you'll find we have plenty here and don't need to be dependant on your's or anybody elses. You may shake up Europe with your oil games, but we can ride them out if we wish. Iran is becoming a concern because you clowns have allowed them to become a concern. It has nothing to do with Palestine.
Do something for yourselves for a change. It's your neighborhood, not mine.
Maybe you could start by figuring out what Islam is for, and what Islam is against.
