You hang out with terrorists, you should be real familiar with the clauses in your life insurance.

I think there is more than one way to go here. Each strike on terrorists reinforces the side which perceives the terrorists as effective. But each 'successful' strike on terrorists reduces their effectiveness.

The extreme difference in frame of reference here, between packed venues of admirers of Hamas and their leaders, and those who seek a negotiated settlement, WHICHEVER SIDE THEY ARE ON, I think is the real war.

When Meir Kahane was assassinated in Israel, I don't recall packed halls of Israelis proclaiming the loss of a martyr and vowing bloody vengeance.

The safe and accurate prediction: More of same.
