I would agree with that partly, Birdgirl. Terrorism is a shitty, cowardly tactic that isn't working, but disproportionate responses only create death and destruction and future resentment... It's like banking your enemies. The trouble I have with his comment (and others related to this) is how he blames Hezbollah for all this. I've long accepted this as a political struggle between terrorists and other sovereign nations against Israel. Tactics on both sides aren't working and never will.

I'd have been much happier to hear Dubya tell Olmert to back off... the only other path seems to be more, escalating violence.

BTW - Good of you to volunteer to take one for the team, but wait, I hear Edwards knocking :thumbsup:
