The US has been asking for "restraint" for years, and the more Israel shows restraint, the more dire the security situation becomes. I agree with the JPost -- if Israel is going to be condemned anyway, why not act decisively? What is the worst that will happen? Europeans recalling diplomats? I don't think Pres. Bush will abandon Israel.

UN sends "peacekeepers" into Israel, as the US, not wanting to take Israel's side after Israel's IDF operation, does not veto the UN Security Council resolution.

i am not certain about nuking the region as posted here a few minutes ago.. however your point is well taken. all restraint and "good faith efforts" have been met by increased arabian attacks and has emboldened them.. the other option has only been used seldomly. and when it has been it has worked. think jenin. think 1967. the arabians when being pounded are quiet... its time to pound but the liklihood isnt good
