A loyal American, loyal to the principles of the US Constitution, a most wonderful and noble document, would advise the United States to live up to its ideals more if it really wished to avoid more bloodshed...people yearn for justice and peace...but for justice more. Take every lesson learned from America's own history to heart and it would NOT have turned a blind eye to the suffering and misery and tears of so many widows and orphans...as Hammurabi didn't.
And the Israelis, in as difficult situation as they have been placed for the last 2000 years by Christian stupidity and hatred, would understand from their own experience that attacking the very core and fiber of a people only makes them stronger, and that if you turn yourselves into a Facist killing machine in order to "win"... you will lose.
Let's start seeing only children where now we see Christians, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Orthodox, reform, Muslims, Shiaa, Sunni, or any other silly distinctions we make. Just love the children and screw the rest.
No diety wants any of us committing the sorts of acts we do in his or her name. Man has made god in his own image...it shows and it is an ugly sight.
