I don't think so. You might want to re-read the

You can barely call what's going on a war. Israel cannot lose against Hamas to a degree that would have any consequences resembling what would happen if Hamas loses. There is little to be said about winning and losing at this point because I doubt anyone knows what would be required to achieve such designations.

I'm sure they're counting their lucky stars and blessings at this very moment. And once they rebuild their homes and families, they will probably decorate them with the horseshoes that fall intermittently out of their collective asses.

So you'd rather the U.S. and Israel install a dictator? That's worked out well in other areas of the world. Would the alternative be to have Israel govern Gaza? How do you see that working out?
