An absolute nonsense response.
Israel, a friend and ally, was attacked. Her soldiers were killed and kidnapped and her civilians were targeted.
There is no excuse in the World in asking Israel to show restraint. None. Zero.
Maybe it's too much to expect the US to show some affirmative support but to ask for restraint is disgraceful and cowardly.
There is too an excuse for asking Israel to show restraint.... it's called full scale thermo-nuclear warfare! If that isn't reason enough, then nothing is. So you want a SoS that encourages violence, even if it's called for, in this case, that violence could get way out of control, and fast! I was just saying that she can't be the one who says "kill 'em all" she has to be the one who says "please show restraint". You think that she and the pres. aren't on the phone with Olmert today anyway, he knows we got his back....
