Bombing the shit out of Gaza won't solve anything!

What is the score now, 360 Gazans to 4 Israeli? O.k., I'm no fan of Hamas, but Israel is not winning any friends, either in Palestine or throughout the world. I'm afraid that if ever the tiny Gaza Strip has time to regroup and any movement occurs through borders or their ports... well, uh, the portable rocket launchers will soon reappear.

What is Israel to do? I suspect they will try an invasion and re-occupation of the strip. This will probably stop rockets for a while. But this will not build any permanent good will. Then there is the grave humanitarian crisis brewing. Hamas clearly operates among civilian populations.

This will be an important test for President Obama. If he is lucky, Israel will have completed it's military operation. Then it will be up to the new President to deftly maneuver through this crisis... AND, I might add, show a bit of neutrality in this conflict. Next, the U.S. has to head efforts to help the humanitarian crisis. Gaza is being turned into a giant prison camp. I don't believe that Americans, or even most Israeli's for that matter, want it turned into a concentration camp!
