wonder what Colin Powell would suggest, if he were alive.

Yeh, huh? from me to.

Based on his previous form I'd suggest it will NOT include such phrases as "excessive force", "restraint", "provoking violence", "cycle of violence" etc. etc. as he suggested to Israel.

Yup -- I think we're going to be seeing a new-old Colin.
