But the Arab learning curve is, unfortunately for Israel, not entirely flat. So, now, they are trying something different. Hezbollah beta-tested the new method, in Lebanon, and it works

And then Al Qaida tested it in New York and Washington, and found it had some unexpected drawbacks -g-ng-

What holds Israel back is from dealing with Hamas as we are dealing with Al Qaeda is not its enemies, but its friends & its own standards. At each go-round the hold becomes less. If the Palestinians screw up again this time (which they will, guaranteed, as long as Arafat is on the scene), Bush is not going to waste a lot of effort holding Arik Sharon back from Hamas.

BTW, thanks for making it so clear that you consider terrorism a legitimate form of warfare. That clears that up.
