#1 The only action in which the U.S. military should use its force with regard to the Palestinian problem is to kill every last member of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and whatever other terrorist groups that share similar views and modi operandi.

#2 Arabs circle wagons. Chief Faisal warns Chief Asshat that infidel cowboys don't use bows 'n arrows or antiquated French / Russian stuff, have really big firesticks and ride in unstoppable iron buffaloes, very big magic. Counted beaucoup coup in next valley. Many scalps taken. Shhhhh. Consult spirits, gain wisdom. Stop dancing with wolves and hyenas and fools. Clean wigwam.

(BTW, I am a Native American, Comanche ("take no prisoners"), so no pissed off loonie PC's need get their shorts in a bunch...)

#3 Saudi Arabia knows they're on the short list, but thought they'd have a couple of years at least to reform and kiss butt. Now Assad Jr. looks like he's accellerating his own demise and the Saudi's are worried. If the dominos fall to quickly the Arab people might get the wrong idea and start taking things into their own hands.

#5 Deliberately mixing metaphors: As one more swamp is drained, the rats scurry to the next available cesspool of corruption and terrorism. But what happens when there are no more havens? Perhaps then they will find it necessary to sit down, talk about peaceful coexistence with Israel and learn to live with the world.

#6 You speak softly and carry the big stick. That leaves them an out that is favorable to your outcome. After you speak softly, you wait for a response. If they respond and speak back softly, you talk. If they dont you wack them with the big stick. Then speak softly again and see what happens. Actually it can easily be programmed as a subroutine using a loop and conditional expressions.
