How about cut off aid to Hamas? Nope, they just smuggle in what they need, which is not food for their people. How about sanctions? Nope, doesn't work, especially with so many people yelling against any sanctions because it hurts the people. Targeted assassinations of Hamas terrorists? Nope, international outcry and fears of civilian casualties. anti-missile systems around the Gaza border? At what cost and success? Israel's trying that now but once its done what will the international outcry be against a 'wall of missiles around Gaza'?
What would you suggest? I'm out of ideas that don't involve the potential for civilian casualties. On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 2:07 PM, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Agreed.
