In General, the Middle East will continue to be a hotbed of fighting until 2028 when the peace process will begin and will be visible.  Those involved will begin to make headway until about 2035, when real and lasting peace will come to the region. Except for minor events, this peace will continue for the rest of the century. (Added 8/10/05)

The peace will be a guarded peace, where compromise brings acceptance of the belief that even a “compromise” peace is better than even more violence, death and destruction, in a place that has had nothing but this for so long.  (Added 12/12/2006)
