It is easy to make apocolyptic predictions, and quite profitable to make those predictios if you are an analysis/expert who needs paying media audience. Where are the experts who predicted thousands of body bags for the last Gulf War? and where are the experts who predicted thousands of body bags for Afghanistan? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me!

There will never be peace between Israelis and Arab irregulars so long as those Arab paramilitary organizations are supported by subsidies from outside instead living off local taxation. The various Arab dictatorships are actively buying a war between Israel and Arab irregular parapmilitary militia to divert attention from their own internal problems. A lower oil price will cut that subsidy significant. Then the Arab boys may actually want to find a job stitching soccer balls intead getting paid in money, food and accolades to throw rocks at Israelis.
