When you limit yourself to specific incidents, it’s easy to judge right and wrong. Over the course of years, though, neither side can claim the moral high ground.

Overall, this is one of the most pointless, wasteful, and inhumane conflicts in human history.

Personally, when dealing with two groups who claim the same land, I side with the one that's been there the longest, not the one that shouldered it's way in, demanded a room, and started shooting anyone who told them to leave.

But the US kind of has a penchant for that.
