 * INTRODUCTION**



Conflict in the Middle East has been a subject of concern for hundreds of years. This conflict began to escalate even more with the creation of Israel from a section Palestine in 1948. Since then Israelis and Palestinians have been in a constant state of war, with growing casualties on both sides. Not to mention the other Arab countries have not taken a liking to Israel being there either. Western nations have looked to Israel as the staple-post of democracy in the Middle East, but many Arab nations do not see it that way. Keeping that in mind, multitudes of people have been skeptical as to whether the Middle East is capable of a stable peace. With this constant state of war, peace has seemed unreachable, but this does not have to be the case. While the peace of democracies may not be realistic, the peace of deterrence is. If this is pursued correctly, the atmosphere of the region could change.
