Bill,
How do you suppose Bush will respond to todays bus bombing? Palestinian terrorists make no distinction between combatants and non combatants. Thats the big difference. The first blow was Hamas against Israeli soldiers where they infiltrated a unit wearing israeli uniforms--something not acceptable in war. Israelis tried to kill who they considered to be the man behind this. Two innocents perished in their targeted attack. Pals come back with bus bombing. Cant you see this is all israels fault because they didnt roll over and play dead two days ago? How ridiculous this all is. Israeli should march into gaza and route out Hamas, house by house thus giving Abbas a chance to negotiate. MIke

So far, looks like Frum is right

Yes, of course he's right. I'm still waiting to figure out what Bush's Plan B is.

But I do think Israel wrong-footed itself (I like that Brit expression) with the attempt on Rantsini yesterday. It was a disaster all around. First they ticked off President Bush, opposite their current policy, and even worse, they botched it; they killed a couple of innocent people and missed the Pediatrician of Death. Now all the BBC twits can talk of today's bus bombing as a Hamas revenge attack, instead of 21st attempted suicide bombing since the Aqaba conference.
