lucky 8 cue ball

i'm very concerned about the recent events in middle east. this has all the pretexts for another war that will drop back the peace process another 10-15 years. in my view the israelis response to the abduction of several soldiers were rushed, it seems as though they were looking for a reason to start a full-scale war on all fronts. but then again, i have never lived in that region and i do not pretend to be a scholar on this issue. however there is still hope that the world community will pull necesery triggers to stop violance and death of innocent civilians from both side.
