Regardless of Sharon's latest response, the Israeli attack was a justifiable act of war. The loss of innocent lives, especially children, is always a tragedy. But it was essential to kill or capture this man.

During WWII American bombs killed thousands of innocents. A sad but necessary cost of freedom and security.

I agree completely.

What disturbs me, is the growing presence around here of people who actually cheer (not reluctantly tolerate) the death of innocent children.

They’re absolutely no better than that disgusting Palestinian woman shown on TV cheering the innocent dead on 9/11.

That's how I see it. I'd also much rather see Israel attempt to hit the specific individuals who are planning and promoting the attacks on them, instead of storming around the West Bank and Gaza and attacking everyone except the real perpetrators. Even if they screw up, like they apparently did.

Killing Shehada undoubtedly did more to hinder the terror war against Israel than all the recent invasions of the West Bank combined. It sucks that there were innocent victims as well, but in the long run its likely that more lives will be saved.
