Randall,
I don't know what you teach. I've taught history.
Military solutions don't seem to make sense to me anymore.
Politically negotiated solutions seem like a better option, whether it's before the bombs start falling and the bullets fly, or after the bodies of both sides are gathered for burial by their families.
Seems to me that all wars end at the same place. A few, fat, old, grey haired guys sitting around a table and talking.
Perhaps the "talking" needs to be done before the military commitment.
It ends up at the same place. Fat old guys at the table, denying the tragedies they've created, looking for their "share".
Peace.
