In some ways you have to stand in awe of the gall, that will allow Sharon to say "We have no intention of escalating," when he just has. I am usually against Bush's methods to handle this type of problem..not respecting boundries etc.. ..but where are the suicide bombers getting their training? What are their resources when Israel controls the Palestinian territories? Only if you put pressure on the leaders in the region that it is unacceptable to silently encourage suicide bombings, will Syria and others take action (maybe they had already done that..I don't know). OK maybe they can make a case for helping train freedom fighters are trying to liberate Palestine..but that attacks should be against Iraeli military or government offices and NOT innocent civilians. I will acknowledge that these suicide attacks has resulted because of the desperation of the Palestinian people but maybe it is time to stop because such acts are accomplishing nothing to help their people right now. You can also see the thinking of the US government..what happens when weapons get better; if suicide bombings are seen as some sort of way to get to heaven, just imagine the volunteers ready to attack the US. Attacking the leadership by all means is the answer and that includes putting serious pressure on the leaders of the region..and this strike might be effective in that goal. In the future the weapons may be far more powerful/maybe even nukes. Although I dislike Sharon and Bush as leaders, it is easy to see the situation from their perspective. In the long run, maybe it is the right way to deal with the situation. It may be in the best interest of palestinians/israelis and their neighbours in the LONG run.
