Dr. Sadie Takes on the Middle East

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I've been watching the news lately, and it's got me worried and sad. The Arabs and Israelis are fighting. They are bombing neighborhoods, and the people who are getting hurt are just "regular folks," not the ones making the decisions to fight. What can they do to stop fighting?

Maybe they could get Tropeo (editor's note: Tropeo is a pirate in a children's song) to stop the fighting. He would say "hey you guys, you get out and go on my ship." If people like to fight each other, they should go on ships, so they can get money and gold and doubloons from the the rich people. This will take them away from the people who don't want to fight. If Tropeo saw one of those things, he would stop it. He would say "hey, who are you?" and he would bring them down to the dungeon.

People who fight all the time are like the Wicked Witch of the West or the East. They do bad things, but they're not bad people.

Maybe the people who want to fight should fight each other, and not the people who don't want to fight. They could fight, and Tropeo could throw them in the dungeon, where they could fight each other all day and all night. The rest of the people would be happy because the fighting would be done.
