(1.) Putting myself in that position. I'm at home with my family trying to enjoy a Friday night and 500lb bomb hits the local hospital and sends my wife into hysterics, and my kids begin screaming, "Daddy, make it stop! Please save us!" The people who dropped the bomb say, "oh. So sorry. It's not personal. We're not targeting you." Guess what my response would be? It would be, "I'M GOING TO FECKING KILL YOU!" (2.) The first rule of fixing humans is to stop the bleeding and avert further harm. Or, to use another metaphor, when you're in a hole, stop digging. The more they destroy, the more refugees they create, the more enemies they create, the more money they lose, the more Israelis that die, etc. Any teacher knows the value of, "I don't care who started it, I'm stopping it." (3.) The Israelis cannot win this war any more than the US can "win" in Iraq. It is physically impossible to stop a religious movement - any Christian will tell you that. The more death and destruction that occurs, the closer we come to that. That having been said, the Israelis are clearly right - but being right doesn't lift you out of a hole. Only the US can do that. We need allow the Israelis to save face by pulling both sides down and the start negotiations. If negotiations fail, then we need to bring in a multi-national force in to fight along side with the Israelis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:211965 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
