Isreal moves in

Story: "Israeli tanks and troops entered southern Gaza and planes attacked three bridges and knocked out electricity to the coastal strip early Wednesday, stepping up the pressure on Palestinian militants holding captive a 19-year-old Israeli soldier.

The soldiers and tanks began taking up positions in two locations about a mile east of the Gaza town of Rafah under the cover of tank shells, according to witnesses and Palestinian security officials. Palestinians dug in behind walls and sand embankments, bracing for a major Israeli offensive.

No casualties were reported in any of the attacks, marked by the first Israeli ground offensive in Gaza since it pulled out of the territory last summer, tearing down all 21 Jewish settlements."

Suprise. The cedeing of the Gaza strip has not brought peace to the region. We live in a world ruled by the aggressive use of force, and by golly, Isreal has the right idea in reconquering the gaza strip. If they would just go all the way and retake the entire palistine area, we would have a lot fewer troubles in the coming years.

This is how you deal with terrorism. Isreal gets it, Bush and the House get this, and thankfully, the British understand as well. You don't negotiate with terrorists, you just take them down before they can cause damage to your citizens.


Is it just me, or is it when Isreal puts its army on a task, niether heaven nor earth would be able to stop them? Even after years and years of fighting them, hamas still gets run over by them.
