Israeli Restraint - A Moment of Truth
Israel is defending itself. Period. In my opinion, they have showed much more restraint than was necessary in the past. The ONLY restraint that I hope they presently have in mind is not nuking every Arab country in the region. Short of that, they should defend themselves as they see fit. If they request assistance, we should provide it openly and with haste.
Radical Islamic Fundamentalists ARE the enemy of civilization, and it is time to quit pussyfooting around the obvious facts that confirm it everyday, notwithstanding the ignorant pleas of Islam being a "peaceful religion."
Would 400 rockets fired on Chicago or any American city by an enemy determined to end our existence mean that we should show restraint toward the attackers? Of course not. I would hope that we'd eliminate the threat by any means possible. The countries asking for restraint on the part of Israel are showing their hypocrisy, as no sovereign nation would stand for continued attacks without fighting back and defending themselves.
(Maybe the French, but even then, that would depend on the payoff options)
