I believe this is one of the only ways we in the West as outsiders can have any constructive input into the situation inside Iraq as the US will never be seen as objective in that region while they continue to arm and support Israel (a nation that many of the Islamic nations in the region see as a pirate state).
Exactly, so basically the deal has to include the Israeli/Palestinian solution as well, although I believe a lot of the Israeli/Palestinian thing is based on terrorist activity and subsequent Israeli overreaction. The key is control over the terrorist activity from Islamic leadership to move towards peace - Israel isn't going to give anything up unless there is some sort of guarantee.
