Seems you are keen on Eisenhower. You do know he only promoted peace after becoming a well-known war hero and that`s the reason he became a US President? Maybe both Israel and Hezbollah need to get war out of their systems before promoting peace too.

What are you personally doing to promote peace where you live? It seems you would give all the land back to Palestinians even tho it was not all theirs before 1948 - and you also don`t present any peaceful solution for the Israeli`s who have lived there since beginning of time too. Even if there is a buffer zone this won`t maintain peace if each side continues to say I want this piece of land and you only get that. Even with treaties signed before wars have broken out - so a buffer zone is no solution. Can people on either side take the land with them when they pass on? So it is clear what is wanted most is the ``piece`` and NOT ``peace`` or this woulda ended long time ago..................but sometimes divine prophecies just need to get fulfilled!

Anyway, if you are seriously interested in peace and love Eisenhower so much then you should have no problem joining his “peace legacy” – People to People International…… and working to set up and maintain chapters through out Pakistan.....or joining or helping set up wherever in USA or world you live. So far there are only two chapters in Pakistan set up in just the past few years – in Gurjanwala and now outside Islamabad. Mary Eisenhower, yes Ike’s granddaughter and now President of PtPI and Herman Brooks Managing Director of International Operations would LOVE to speak with you…www.ptpi.org

I am actually waiting for the deployment of the peacekeeping force in Lebanon or Israel with quite an anticipation. If this peacekeeping mission is comprised entirely of the Nato army, I am afraid that the peace will not prevail. Nato force belongs to that nexus of evil which is the original cause of the mayhem in this region in the first place. And if these people are thinking on the lines of Serbia type solution, then Iam afraid that they are sadly mistaken because Palestinians and Arabs are kind of people who fight their wars using sligshots if they have to. If their standoff aginst the worlds most fearsome war machine in the history of mankind for the past 55 years is not a proof enough then what is?

On the other hand if the peacekeeping force is comprised of armies from Muslim countries and especially from Pakistan then that will turn out to be exactly as Holy Prophet (pbuh) prophecized in lieue of the final battle between forcess of Anti-Christ and Muslims headed by Jesus Christ (pbuh).
