Rockets rain on Israel; no one hurt

That's a typical headline in the Israeli media, and of course those are the headlines we'll borrow over here, except we usually leave out the "no one hurt" part.

Those Gaza rocketeers are obviously coming out of the same Madrassas as the shoe bomber, the undie bomber, and those Iranian nuclear scientists who have been on the cusp of a nuclear weapon for thirty years but still can't quite figure out what wires to connect.

Makes you wonder about the enemy, doesn't it? I mean, just how stunned are those people?

Look at the stats for the good guys. When the IDF took out the aging quadriplegic Ahmed Yassin as his wheelchair was being pushed out of the mosque one day in 2004, the Hellfire missile not only dispatched him but sent a dozen by-standers to paradise as well! One missle! Judging by the success rate that Hamas has demonstrated, it would take them about five years and five thousand missles to do that kind of damage.

So I think a lot of the scare stories we hear are just that; scare stories.
