1. We need to be fairer with the Palestinians

This whole terrorist thing started with the injustice we employ when we continue to support Israel, no matter what. The argument back is that Israel and Turkey are the only democracies in the ME. I dispute even that - if you are a Palestinian or a Kurd just how democratic are Israel and Turkey respectively...

Secondly, we need to encourage a speeding up of democracies in countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Jordan is doing okay as a monarchy, but we need to keep on them too. The current King of Jordan is great but if something ever happened to him, there's no guarantee the successor would be so benevolent.
