Then, just 50ft away, the roof of a family home burst into a ball of flames as a Katyusha rocket ploughed into it. A mother of three, her hands clutching her face, ran screaming into the debris-strewn street as flames licked through the shattered suburban home.

How much warning time do the inhabitants get that a rocket is headed for their region?

Unmentioned, of course, is the lack of any consideration of a valid military target in the attack. Were Israel to target wholesale residential towns, the media would be out there condemning the actions immediately. But no such critical viewpoints exist among the vast majority of the western press.

Deadly cycle of violence? Only one party is taking action to actually put that violence to an end.

This was no surgical strike, no precision bombing raid.

Of course not, who thought it was?? The Muslims are not about strategic attacks for military victories, they are strictly about wanton acts of murder - PARTICULARLY against innocent women and children.

The administration needs to talk to the terrorists

In a situation like this, you do not want to create undue carnage with civilians. It has been part and parcel of U.S. doctrine in Iraq where you use highly targeted munitions and you try to be as precise as possible. And it is one of the horrible side effects that civilians do get injured and killed, and that is one of the lamentable things. But when you talk about restraint what you're talking about is to try to hit to the greatest extent practical only military targets
