Appropriate Response?

In what sort of alternet reality are we living in that the killing of women and children can be viewed as an 'appropriate response to terrorism?'

The Appropriate
Response To
Islamic Terror
BY LAWRENCE KULAK
I am an American, so i know how easy it is to slip back into the comfort of the status quo. What do i hear my fellow Americans repeat so often, that Isreal has the right to defend itself. So i read that 19 Israelis died from Hamas' homemade rockets in eight years and now 420+ palestinians are dead in 5 days and i am supposed to accept that this is an appropriate response.

Someday, i hope, my very bored grandchildren will sit through history class. The teacher will review the history of turn of the century. I think this article will be a required reading.
