Rounding up and deporting them was the problem. Making them crap their robe every time they hear a helicopter is the solution. Well, that, and lots of helicopters.

Yeah it seems like the Israel strategy has been quite effective. Of course that is the US strategy against terriorists too.

---Mr. Hamad said he doesn't foresee a change in the organization's strategy, and that for now Hamas can rely on its policy-making body, known as the Shura Council, to fill the leadership void. ---

You don't say? I wonder where this "council" might be found?

Hamas faces a more basic and immediate challenge of retaliating for the two assassinations. Before Mr. Rantisi was killed, Hamas failed to make good on a promise to avenge Sheik Yassin's killing and now pressure is growing by the day, both inside and outside the group, for revenge.

I hope these are empty threats.
