FWIW Im glad we are starting to become averse to involving ourselves in foreign conflicts. However, we need to regain our position on the world stage. The problem is trying to do that without being war mongering

The problem has always been that we try to be too surgical. Same problem Israel is having right now.

War is war. We should be going-in, hitting hard and fast and viciously, and then thumbing a nose at them and leaving them with a warning ... frick-up again and we'll be back.

We should use more missiles and bombs and less boots on the ground. Boots on the ground is where we get in trouble every time.

Looks like the Saudis, Jordanians, and especially Egyptians are solidly in support of Israel. The moderate Sunnis have decided the Jews aren't as bad as the radical Sunnis.

The Egyptians aren't going to support Hamas any time soon. Keep in mind that Hamas is the Palestinian wing of the Muslim brotherhood, the group the Egyptians just threw out. The current Egyptians prez likely sees Hamas as a direct and valid threat to Egypt.

The problem with that, missiles and bombs won't do all that much. An example is our drone strikes in Pakistan...same thing, poor result. Kill a few but other than that...
