Ted, the headline said Israel killed 15, including a Hamas commander. No specific mention of innocents until I clicked on the link to the article and saw that 145 were also hurt.

On the one hand, I feel like I shouldn't mourn for the dead. Hamas had it coming, and anyone that got in the way should be considered "collateral damage." Besides, Hamas and other "freedom fighters" have a habit of using civilians as shields.

But on the other hand, I agree with Bush. This was way too heavy-handed, especially considering the scores of innocent casualties. If Israel wants to turn this into a full-scale war (like Hamas wants), why don't they? Don't dink around with quasi-terrorist actions that achieve practically nothing but more civilian deaths. Just go in and give 'em hell.

Israel needs to be decisive one way or the other. Hamas sure is.

P.S. - I thought Coulter was 40. She's 35? Wow, she's still a young lady. Is she pro-life? Bet NARAL and Planned Parenthood have their heads spinning over that.

When you said that she was middle aged, do you consider middle age to be 35?

Well technically I guess it should be about 38 considering life expectancy but most people probably think of it as being in the 40s.

Ted, Re: <Coulter was just on CNBC. When you said that she was middle aged, do you consider middle age to be 35?>

Middle aged is highly dependent on your own age. I consider Coulter a chicklet.
