Last month, our Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta rebuked Israel and the Palestinians for not working hard enough on a plan for peace. Every administration for the last 60 years has tried to champion peace in the Mideast, every president hoping he would leave a legacy as the world's greatest peacemaker. 
Let's be honest. The only peacemaker this world will ever know is Jesus Christ. His peace plan is found in nearly every prophet book; it is called the Day of the Lord. When Jesus returns to earth, He is going to sett up a 1000-year reign, a time of perfect peace when men will no longer war with one another and "the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and a little boy will lead them" (Is. 11:6).
If Secretary Panetta would read the Bible, he would meet the Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6), and understand God’s plan for peace in the Middle East. That's not to say we should not be praying for peace in the world. But more so, we should be "looking for and hastening the coming of the day of the Lord" (2 Pe 3:12) when there will be everlasting peace on earth.
A couple of days ago I watched an interview on CBN with Pat Robertson and Joel Rosenberg. Joel mentioned what you say about Panetta -specifically in relation to Israel-, and that in view of the elections nobody was suggesting any plan to stop the setting in place of nuclear weapons in Iran, this being a clear threat to Israel.
