What is it going to take before the USA and/or Israel quit playing around with these 7th century savages and wipe them out?

We can thank Ehud Olmert for allowing Hamas to upgrade its capabilities.

When are the Israelis going to say enough is enough and turn Gaza into a waste land with no inhabitants? Amen

Someone more up to date than I is going to have to help me out here, but
"
The speed at which the shells travel also renders useless an early warning system installed in several southern Israel communities..."just does not ring true.
In my day mortars were NOT renowned for their speed and systems were designed around their speed and trajectory.
Of course, it took a couple of rounds received before you had counter battery data...
(PS: My arty experience was mostly on the incoming end and the alert procedure was "Bang!...run and hide" but better stuff was being fielded over 30 years ago)

Israel has a system that fires tracked explosive rounds for RPGs, that basically causes the incoming to be knocked off target or detonated in flight. Our forces have just rolled out a portable close in weapons system in Iraq that uses rounds that pose minimal down range damage. As is the case of warfare one side makes a better gun, the other makes better armor, then the other side makes a gun to defeat the bettor armor etc and etc.Some day soon the rules of warfare are going to change dramatically and I am hoping it will be the doctrine of supremacy of retaliation, as I have heard from my Italian heritage if your enemy threatens you you are to break his arm, if he pulls a knife you cut off his manhood.
