Ask the children blown to bits in Israeli schoolbuses over the last couple of decades if they appreciate the strategic view.

Oops, sorry, can't do that, they're dead.

Emotional responses don't assist in critical thinking. Israel is part of a larger struggle and can only be protected in the long run as part of that larger strategy.
Tactical concerns must be subordinate to that larger strategy.

It is those who might die in the future because of the failure of the strategic plan that should be our concern more than those who have already died. They cannot be helped.
