Not sure why this makes me think of the current situation in Israel and the Gaza Strip. Many factions are now screaming for Israel to cease and desist; in my view these factions have zero validity if they said and did nothing during the many months leading up to the present incursion about the countless rockets and mortars that were and continue to be fired into Israel from the Gaza Strip....
We have visited the Holy Land and its ancient religious sites as well as others and have seen firsthand the effects of war after war waged against this tiny country that area-wise is but a blip on the map of the Middle East.

To your first point, I may have posted this same sentiment in 2002 but alas no chance to post here at that time
