All these states may want 'peace', but only if that peace is in the best interests of their ruling parties and state security.

Yes I agree and I am not saying they all hold the "noble" flag. However, they are on their lands, they hold a large section of that region, and peace and stability is in their interest even if they are baddies.
America should not be in the M/E, it has no business there, it shud have no interest in there, just like Iran has no interest in America, just like Hizbullah has no interest in America. Say Iran decides that America is not sharing its Texas oil and that its supplies will end in 30 years time, should it invade Texas and ship its oil to Iran? It can justify the invasion by saying that the Bush Administration is barbaric, and Bush is a dictator and has developed WMDs, America has used nuclear weapons before and can use them again so we must disarm them etc.... you get the point. The Americans should stay inside their borders, and should stop messing about with Middle Eastern affairs.
So the conclusion I personally reached and I am sure the vast majority of this world has reached, .... America is unwanted in the Middle East, it shouldnt be there, and like I said, all parties in the region should unite to terminate this unwanted illegal presence in the region for the good of all countries of the region.
You know what pisses me off most? America has the power to do good, but its using the vast majority of this power to do evil. Lets see!. In the Myanmar disaster, whats the number of dead till now? 25,000??? How much money did the US give? I read this morning that it donated through USAid $ 3 Million. WTF is this? this is the value of a villa in LA! But how much did it put aside for wars that kill 100,000s of people? Trillions of dollars. Enough said!
