#1 I read about an Eitan that was a Katsas or assasin for Mossad sometime back. He had retired from service and worked as a scrap dealer. He's mentioned quite a bit in Gideon's Spies. I wonder if this is the same guy.

#3 What was it Gen. Patton said? "We're gonna grab 'em by the nose, and we're gonna kick 'em in the ass, and we're gonna keep on kicking 'em in the ass..." all the way back to tehran, circa stone age, would be nice...

#5 Israel should ignore Lebanon and go for Damascus and install a strongman to replace Assad so they don't have to occupy the place themselves. Lebanon would sort itself out quickly after that.

If the Pals really act up during the war Israel might consider relocating a number of them to Syria as well.

#6 The only thing that matters to Israel is maintaining the status quo. That is a recipe for disaster.

They have to make it clear that every single time they fight the Muslims, great or small, the Muslims have to lose something--and something tangible.

By this I mean land. Suicide bombers by definition do not even care about their own lives, so just taking their lives is just a temporary fix, because there will always be more of them right next door. But if you take away their land, then eventually they will be so far away that they *can't* fight you.

#8 They like the pain. Makes for a nice media event. Hey, look at me! I'm being oppressed!. See the violence inherent in the system!

#9 See the violence inherent in the system!

That they even are able to continue claiming this is proof positive that the system is inherently not violent enough.

#11 all the way back to tehran, circa stone age,

A little late for that, Creath. I suggest a stone age in an alternate dimension.
