Gaza War: Expect a Spike in Oil, Gold

Well, I supose you are curious. Hammas does have a cause. Hammas is shooting at Israel because the Quran tells them to kill all unbelievers, expecially Jews (See Surah 9:29,8:128:39,4:74,2:1... among many others). Believe Bin Laden when he says his aim is to create a world Caliphate. Neither Al Qadae nor Hammas want land, they don't want peace, they want Israel dead and you dead along with Israel. Gaza is a battle in a much greater war.

And I can tell you have not seved in the military. Proportional response is a formula to get a lot of your people killed. Once a decision is made to attack, you want it over as quickly as possible with your goal achieved. Shooting a few rockets back into Gaza (a proportional response) will achieve nothing. When the pain is great enough, the hostilities will cease; ask Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Disproportional force accellerates the cessation of hostilities.
