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.
Israel isn't the innocent victim they like to consider themselves to be, but yeah, they have to deal with a lot, and a lot of their lovely neightbours like their jews well done and spread out over 5 meters. Lovely place the middle-east, glad I don't have to have an opinion about it. But those that think this has anything to do with two soldiers being kidnapped need to scratch their head, it wasn't the socalled last drop, it was an oppertunity to go all out and show the other nutcases who's their daddy.
