You must be kidding me. Since when are wars fought based on proportion. Proportional response is a terribly useless military tactic which becomes even more so considering the enemy in this situation. So when Al Qaeda destroyed the WTC and hit the Pentagon, we should only go in and kill that many people, and do that amount of damage? This is not an eye for an eye situation for Israel. They are in a position where strong force is REQUIRED. They have to go in and eliminate these terrorists, whose goals include the complete destruction of Israel. Can you imagine Americans' outrage if we went in, killed a couple thousand terrorists after 9/11, then packed up and headed back, with Al Qaeda still alive and well? What do you expect Israel to do? Should they just react in a proportional manner, only to wait around for more rockets to hit their cities? The enemy Israel is dealing has no respect for human life, and the only reasonable course of action for Israel is to protect it's citizens by eradicating the terrorist organizations which threaten it.
