It will be tricky right now, because as this was happening, Israel was releasing around 450 Arab terrorists and going about a prisoner exchange with Hizbullah. NOt sure what will happen to that.

There will most likely be some sort of Israel response, starting with a closure on Arab areas in the territories, but I think the US will consult Israel and tell it to restrain itself due to its moves right now to try to get the roadmap to "peace" back on track.

As you know, the US does not support Israel targeting terrorists nor does it support going after Arafat.

But if Israel is to act militarily, it will probably be directed at terrorist infrastructure in Judea Samaria and maybe terrorist HQ's in Gaza.

5 murdered right now

8 fighting for their lives

30 injured

at least

Bus was number 19 that left the Haddasa Hospital in Jerusalem.

Ironically, many of those who entered the bus on that stop, are now returning to that same stop probably injured.

The US does not have buses occupied with civilians being blown up either.

Enough of this madness, release the hounds.

Since that hasn't been effective, I suspect that Sharon will risk an extra-national response outside of Israel.

Just my guess, but the suppliers of the bomb materials need to be hit, and hit hard, even if they turn out to be in Europe or Persia or Africa...

Regarding the prisoner exchange; did Israel know that the three Israeli soldiers they were trading for were already dead or was this another arab double cross? What's the mood on the street about this swap? Are Israeli citizens happy about this trade?

I'm right about this: Israel should inject the Arab terrorists they plan on releasing in the prisoner exchange with either a deadly slow-acting toxin or a micro GPS chip so they can be tracked down and destroyed. This should be done without the prisoners' knowledge.
