Hi Carl You're basically a sicko. Militarily, the problem with that sort of strategy is that it ignores two facts. The first is that running a total war would make Israel that much less attractive and cause population flight from the country, and the second is that Israel can't beat up on the Palestinians without eventually involving the rest of the Arab states any more than the Germans could (twice) beat up on England without eventually involving the rest of the English speaking world. Actually I am not. But I believe that counting every single palestinian or Muslim you kill is a mistake. Of course I also think a couple of hits on CNN staff would really improve the coverage of the war. Going into a conflict with Television cameras is just plain stupid. It is time the US and israel left the media at home, or got some of them killed so they volunteered to stay home. As for people who speak the same language getting involved, no one got involved for France, French Canadians fought to stay home from both wars. And it depends on who is fighting, most of the Palestinians are Sunnis aren't they?
