I don't think many people really believe that both sides don't have to share some blame for what's going on. Israel, however, holds almost all the cards around this particular poker table and, as such, needs to understand and exercise the concept of restraint at this point.

'Mistake' or not, shelling UN compounds isn't doing much to enhance their case with the public. I wonder how many Israelis would be as understanding of such errors if the boot were on the other foot, they were being bombed into oblivion and Hamas kept making mistakes like that.

I can see our friends awaiting entry to the Whitehouse praying that this'll get sorted before Obama takes office and can therefore still claim some sort of mitgation for the lack of action by the US.
