To follow up on the excellent Comments discussion in yesterday's "Roadap to Nowhere" post, it looks like Israel may be getting ready for a serious war against Hamas. Not to mention any of its allies who care to put themselves in the line of fire. My Israpundit article also covers Arafat's long-standing ties to Islamic fundamentalism, the strategic effectiveness of assassinating terrorist leaders, and victor Davis Hanson wrapping it all up with the big picture.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Great post. I think its sad but true that the only way to deal with these organized and state funded terrorist groups is to pound them so hard that they feel the need to come to the peace table. What also needs to happen is Europe and the US just need to stop giving the PLO money until they take steps to stop terrorism instead of in sighting it. They currently give the PLO about ½ a billion dollars a year and none of it seems to be getting to the people.
Right on, robi. You can a lot of Semtex and AK-47 ammo for $.5 billion.
