My understanding was that Israel doesn't want to topple the Assad regime. Radical Islamists and Hezbollah will fill the void when he comes down ... and he will fall eventually. I am lead to believe that Assad is the lesser of two evils.

Well i hope they implement it b/c a strike on a Beruit power station is an insufficient reponse to these attacks (for the record i know the response will be harsher than that, its just that i don't think Olmert alone will do what's necessary). I apologize, but i am good and worked up about this. People, do some research on Olmert and his family, half of them (particularly one of his daughters) are the equivalent of extereme Berkley liberals.

Its like Israel wants to be a war of attrition for the next million years.

This is 21st century trench warfare. The Arabs think if they breed like roaches they can someday take over. I think Israel is going to cut off water and power and for Damascus to deal with a huge human refugee crisis ...

You mean, something other than boring reruns of Heartland while there's a war boiling the middle east over?

I've heard that analysis and kinda of agree. Problem is that Assad needs to understand Hizbullah will not be tolerated any longer, Syria still has much influence with Hizbullah even though they have moved out for the most part. I'm not saying take the Assad regime down but the message needs to be sent. A few sorties over Damascus, military installations in the Bekka Valley and perhaps a brief armored thrust a few miles into Syria proper (or at least deploy in strength in the Golan). Make it hurt a little. Now as far as Iran goes, we need to be giving Israel overflight rights thru Iraq . . .

I am getting black lines and "picture flips" too.

Earlier it was completely out, as I complained.
