Heading off war in the Gaza Strip - The Washington Post
No one can dispute the right of a nation to defend itself but in this case there are other options besides full out war. Conflict risks fracturing the peace agreement with Egypt and setting off a Middle East war which would inevitably draw the United States into the fray. Indeed, this could very well be the impetus for the hard line stands taken by the various parties. Israel needs to draw our support closer and make negotiation with the other Arab nations impossible. Iran needs the rest of the Middle East to rally to their side. The United States should emphatically advise Israel to be judicious in its use of force.
