Missile Strikes on Haifa : A Big Deal?
We've been hearing about missiles falling on Israeli soil for some time now. Today we're hearing about enemy missiles hitting a place called "Haifa." Is this any different than the countless rockets that have hit Israel before, courtesy of Hamas and Hezbollah? Apparently, it is very different. The following map is courtesy of the Jerusalem Post:

Imagine for a minute that there were terrorist groups sitting in Mexico. Every once in a while, they acted up, and there were incursions into small towns in southern Texas -- a missile was lobbed, the citizens had to go into bomb shelters. It would be horrible, everyone would wring their hands, every attempt possible would be done to stop it. That would be one thing.And when the rubicon ain't happy, ain't nobody happy...Now compare that to a situation in which those terrorists got hold of longer-range missiles. They started firing into downtown Houston and downtown Dallas. And no one can tell if they might just start aiming for San Diego or Los Angeles.
A completely different story, no? A different world.
At this point, there will be no such thing as "overreaction" when it comes to the average Israeli. The rubicon has been crossed.

There's a huge difference though in what Allison writes. Everyone knows not to mess with Texas and hell would break loose if a rocket fell on my house.
With Israel we have seen very little action, up until now of course, for the hundreds of rocket attacks. In this instance Israel all but willed Hamas and Hezbollah to grow a pair because they didn't have one.

Is it possible that the Saudi statement was fashioned to excuse their neutrality to the rest of the Muslim world shoud Israel attack Iran? I'll bet anything that the sheiks in SA are not about to put their cushy "jobs" in jeopardy over some whacko Iranian president.

I heard an Israeli military guy say they were going to turn back the clock 20 years on Lebanon. I would rather they turn it back 2000 years.
