January 7th, 2009 at 1:15 am1. A majority of Palestinian voters elect a terrorist government.
2. Democratically-elected terrorists suicide bomb innocent Israelis.
3. Israel puts up a wall to keep the terrorists in. End of suicide bombings.
4. Democratically-elected terrorists fire rockets at innocent Israelis.
5. Israel fires back - with interest. (The same disproportionate approach was the only way the Americans could defeat the disproportionately stubborn and suicidal Japanese in WWII.)
6. Dozens of innocent, and probably just as many not-so-innocent, terrorist-voting Gaza civilians are killed, along with many more cowardly terrorists who hide behind them.
7. Democratically-elected terrorists keep firing rockets at innocent Israelis.
8. Israel invades Gaza to wipe out rockets. Likely to succeed. Palestinians increasingly resemble the Black Knight in Monty Python and Holy Grail. Israel wins another war and withdraws.
Question to critics of Israel: what would you do to defend your citizens against vicious terrorists who, like the Japs in WWII, are happy to use their own people as cannon-fodder and refuse to see sense?
I'm not hugely pro one side or the other, but I agree with John's point that civilian causalities are part'n parcel of elected a terrorist government. Maybe they should've had a little bomb or a skull'n crossbones next to the Hamas party on the ballet sheet.
If I were Palestinian, I would be very unhappy with Hamas's failure to advantage a peace deal. Hopefully they'll consider that the next time they vote.
