Let's take a stab at that misguided
liberal tripe article...
Quote:Let's ignore for a second that the Israeli response to a single kidnapped soldier was to blow up the only power plant in Gaza and invade the territory with enough troops and tanks to take a small country. That in itself crossed the line of necessity.
How many kidnapped soldiers are too many, Briney? If one isn't enough, how about two? Ten? A hundred?
In your mind, where does Israel draw the line and shove their collective boots up the Palestinian Authority's rear end?
If that soldier was your brother, father, son, uncle, or even yourself, would you be so non-chalant about allowing the action to go uncorrected?
If I were the Prime Minister of Israel, I would do
everything in my power to bring that kid home safely. Most military units live, breathe, and die by the motto "nobody gets left behind." Knowing what Islamic extremists do to captured soldiers (and civilians, for that matter), the Israeli government has an obligation to use whatever force is necessary to bring their soldier back home.
If only the US had the cajones to treat kidnappings of their own citizens and soldiers with the same contempt...

(...would've blown the power plant up, too.)
