Gaza

.
The rockets fly in the Negev again, and World Leaders are franticly warning that we all must do something. TMR suggests real countries release the following joint communique:

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Middle East:

We note with sadness your most recent altercation in the vicinity of The Gaza Strip and would be pleased to see it concluded promptly and amicably.  However, should a cordial modus vivendi be beyond your diplomatic skills and/or emotional resources, we  tender our regrets and hereby request that you advise us when your problems are resolved. At that point we shall be delighted to initiate relationships with those citizens of your nations, if any,  who remain vertical.

Cordially,
(signature of World Leaders)

I'm not so sure about that open letter. Seeing as how Hamas had a truce with Israel, violated it with rockets on non-combatants, and continued to do so till Israel had enough. Then when Israel started retaliating on military targets, Hamas screamed for a truce. I'd say the open letter should be addressed to Hamas and state they made their bed, now they get to lie in it. The rest of the world is washing their collective hands of the mess.

Well, I'm not sure of it either. I agree the moral balance probably tilts Israeli in this fracas, but I'm getting tired of America being told it must send cash and blood to settle religious and tribal spats among theocracies.
