I would like to add to LindyBill's remarks

The Suicide Bomber who took out the Bus left to do so a day before this incident. There is no argument about it. Hamas had set up terrorist actions before Bush got back on his plane. They have no intention of letting Peace happen between the Pals and the Israelis. That is why they have to be stopped before any progress can be made

that when he says there is no argument about it, he means that even a Hamas spokesman agreed that the timing of the bus bombing was "fortuitous".

According to the IDF, they stopped twenty attempts at a suicide bombing in the week after Aquaba. The twenty-first got through. The upsurge in violence by Hamas was completely, totally predictable. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by a peace process. They are devoted to the destruction of Israel. They exist in their current strength because of Arafat's perfidy; he was supposed to put down the extremists (he certainly had the army to do so) but instead he let them flourish, and incidentally made sure that conditions would remain great for them. Arafat never did a single thing to improve conditions in Gaza.

What do you suggest that Israel does about a stream of bus bombers aiming at civilians?
