To the people who think that the subject line isn't the right way to view
what needs to be done now, I would invite you to suggest another course of
action.

Ignoring the problem isn't going to work.
Appeasement isn't going to work.
Sanctions aren't going to work.
Cruise missiles lobbed in from a safe distance aren't going to work.
Turning the free world into a police state isn't going to work. (1)

So what *will* work? I think we all want to know. Don't just take pot shots
at the big bad US-Israeli axis. It's old "news"(2). Let's hear concrete
proposals.

1 - I just got back from GRR where I returned my rental and picked up my
car. Spooky. Dogs everywhere, concrete barriers, no cars within 300 feet
unless escorted, rental lots relocated to far away, Way overreacting I
think, but just a harbinger of more to come, I fear.

2 - "news" in the sense that it is an incomplete and largely false picture.

(...) Acknowledging that you don't have the answer is a start. Acknowledging that your ideology may not be the only right one is the next step.
