To all and sundry who think that Isreal is using excessive force I say GAH!
How many nights have we watched the news reports to see of the suicide bombings in Isreal? I have no exact figures, but they are almost countless. Isreal has shown considerable constraint IMO. Where were all the complaints then? If someone were to come into my nieghborhood and pull some of the **** these Hamas and Hezbollah clowns have, I would have wanted to level the places where they originated from. When one is fighting a war, than one should fight it-all the way, in all of its ugly, nasty ways. There is no other way to fight, but to win. If they didn't want the consequences, than they never should have kidnapped anyone. The raid on Entebbe in the past should have taught the world of Isreal's resolve.

If you want to blame anyone, than blame Abraham. If only he had treated Hagar and Ishmeal a little better, than maybe there wouldn't be so much hatred between these people. They have been killing one another for thousands of years. Here we come, the "Johnny come lately's", trying to intervene in something that we have no business in. I swear, sometimes I wish that there weren't a drop of Oil in the middle east! Then perhaps we could let these folks sort things out in their own way.
