Hamas has responded by saying they will now be forced to attack Israeli targets outside of Israel. Yep, sounds like Israel's policy is working. Car bombing one guy will not end terrorism. A new guy will just take his place, and vow even more violence.

No, it was a contrast where I pointed out the strength of Kerry's position versus a weakness in Bush's. You can see it as a "knock" if you like, but it was a contrast. At any rate, it was FAR from an "anti-Bush harangue."
Actually, I disagree. Collateral damage creates more terrorists, but just continually lopping off the heads of terrorists organizations has the opposite effect. IMHO. DD
Yes, but if you are constantly killing their leadership, and NOT innocent bystanders, you severly limit their recruitment. DD
A superb reason to have not invaded Iraq, and to have finished the job in the Afghan region, using resources diverted by the invasion and occupation of Iraq. I think you are on target here, DD. Keep D&D Civil!!
It was awesome that they killed only the leader. Wonderful of ISrael. But 2 things, they went into Syria, which could escalate problems with thtat country, and what happens if someone else (a civillian) opens the door to that car and dies with his family of 3 little children? As long as they keep it in their country, and keep the innocent safe, im all for this new method of targeting terrorists.
thats great then, but what if they are parked in a garage with cars all around them, or maybe cars park around them after Israel puts the bomb in the car, and then the leader starts the car, what then? if it blows up all the cars, including one or two that had a civillian in it? worth it?
A moral dilemma. I would not want to bear the burden of making that decision. In any case, it's very different from those Islamic suicide bombers who TARGET innocent civilians and try to kill as many of them as they can so that they can go bonk a bunch of virgins in heaven (or so they think).
Better than launching a missile at a car traveling through a neighborhood. I prefer assassinations of these cockroaches. Now the problem comes when we start targeting leaders of countries, like that guy from N. Korea. DD
I agree this is a much better technique than sending a missle into a crowded market to kill 1 terrorist. Only thing I am concerned about still is the going into other countries and civillians. Who is comparing the COUNTRY to a terrorist group. If you are comparing Israels actions to those of Hamas, then Israel deserves to be treated the same way. But it isnt like that, ISrael(now) is a country, a group of people and they deserve to protect themselves, but they should also remember that the palestinians, syrians, jordanians, are their neighbours, and their civillian's lives are just as valuable. and Deckard, the What if's This is something that can be controlled, the Meteors cant.
