Great analysis. I actually think though that we would want Israel to clean up it's part of the world. We would say harsh things about them but will actually have been in complete concordance with there actions. After all, we are not stupid and every problem solved by Israel is one less for us to solve.
My only question is: Russia would know or expect what happened and how would they react? To us? To Israel? Or do we buy them off in some sort of tit for tat, cash, or both?
