YOU CAN'T TRUST LIARS!

Shortly after I raised a small flag of hope -- that, on the basis of Iraq's showing a modicum of "warmth" toward Christians (showing a painting of Jesus held up with an air balloon) along with a token declaration that all Muslims were Christians for the day, the terrorist group Hamas began, and continued, lobbing rockets into the Gaza strip in defiance of Israel and what was hoped to be a continuing peace plan. Of course this action on Hamas' part upset the whole attempt for peace in the Mideast (at least for a time). Of course Israel retaliated, sending two waves of fighter planes and helicopter gun planes into the area. Using excellent intelligence, they had earlier spotted the hiding places of the Hamas, and promptly pummeled them as they deserved. There was absolutely no reason for Hamas to lob rockets and bombs onto Israel positions in the Gaza. Hundreds of innocent persons were killed, including the most innocent of all, the children. At this writing, Israel is continuing their thumping, with no announced plan to stop. The Hamas has no chance of defeating the Israeli forces, of course. It's said that should the attack from air not accomplish what the Israeli want, they plan to attack from ground strategic positions mainly to take prisoners and to rattle the cages of some of the higher lot of militant activists. This should bring the terrorists under control.

Of course, the usual cries of "foul" are sent into the air, and the usual extreme left is blaming Israel; however, there's little on which the can base their cries. Hamas is totally wrong, and must face the consequences. I hope they learn a strong lesson. God bless Israel and its allies. We are among those asking for God's prayers.
