"I feel badly for Israel. They don't run around looking for trouble, but they are constantly being harassed and attacked by Hezbollah," said Rick Poleck, 54, of Huntingdon, Pa., a poll respondent.
"Suppose this was Mexico and they were lobbing missiles into the United States. How long would we put up with that?" asked Poleck, a Republican who works as an engineer for a rural electric facility. "How do you defeat a terrorist enemy without [people] getting hurt?"

When I tried to explain to a liberal yesterday that the firm stance of Bush via Rice was true leadership as opposed to a lack of leadership, he raved that 99% of the world besides far right extremists were deeply questioning Israel's lack of restraint and the whole disproprtionality rubbish, blah, blah, blah...
when this is rightfully viewed as part of the counteroffensive to global jihad there is nothing to question or debate. ("War on Terror" connotes that WE are the aggressor)
