Israel has started a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. I can't but believe that this is a really bad idea. I do not think it is possible to eliminate Hamas by force and indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets, The article in the WAPO said that the Israelis are dropping leaflets telling people to evacuate; however, there is no place to evacuate - they can't leave, and every part of the Gaza Strip is being bombed. The vacuum in world leadership is exacting a terrible price. Sarkozy is flying to Israel to try to negotiate a cease fire. Where is the Doltish Dauphin? Why he must be on vacation. In some ways it might be good that he is paying no attention - things do seem to get worse when he gets big ideas.
