I see this as an over-reaction by Isreal in aadvance of the incoming Obama administration which will most certainly be more engaged than at any time in the last 8 years...

And, no, I do not condone rockets fired at anyone but I believe that had the US stayed engaged, rather than send the Bush message to Isreal that anything goes that we would be alot further down the road...

Ya'll Google up "Saudi Ppoposal"... That frameowrk would have worked and can still work... Bush saiod it was "interesting" but failed to get on board in endorseing this plan which would have put the Arab nations on the hot seat to insure Isreal's security...
