Grozny

Spengler, in the Asia Times, has it right. Hamas is committing suicide by cop. They are provoking Israel with their stupid rockets and Israel after waiting a long time is sending a message throught Hamas to Iran, Lebanon and Syria that they will use their full power to protect their border.
Either the rockets stop or Israel will decide if Russia can destroy Grozny, then Israel can do the same.
Russia is not a pariah because of GRozny and neither should be Russia.
