#1 Some may decry this as senseless death ( or death of the senseless! ). I, however, see this as good practice for a future Palestinian state. You see, being a nation-state is kind of like owning a house in that if you annoy your neighbors enough, eventually they will come over and kick your ass.

So far, the Israelis have shown remarkable restraint. If the Canadians were acting out this badly, we would have sent tanks to Ottawa a long time ago. Eventually, I expect to see swarms of autonomous killbots prowling the no-go zone, making truly a place not to be and making the 'truce' a little more peaceful.
