A new round of Israeli assassinations has killed some Hamas leaders; on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, Secretary of State Colin Powell criticized those actions. The Israelis "have to consider the long-range consequences — to kill one Hamas leader but to wound nine children or 10 children in the course of this, who will grow up to become Hamas leaders or Hamas killers later," Powell said. I guess Israel would need to put these leaders on a deck of playing card first.  Then and only then would Powell get the fact that if he can hunt and kill Iraqi Bathist leaders, then Israel can hunt and kill Hamas leaders.   10:12:58 PM
