In fact, I will go a step further and predict that the response will produce another equally vicious attack on Israelis sometime in the future, perhaps even 10-15 years from now when the Gaza children who have survived are old enough to initiate another deadly attack on Israelis. 

Some mainstream commentators are calling the Hamas attack Israel's 9/11. I think there is some merit in that comparison. Twenty years ago, here at The Future of Freedom Foundation, we were ardently opposing the U.S. government's plans to invade Afghanistan in response to the 9/11 attacks. We steadfastly maintained that such an invasion would end up killing and maiming multitudes of innocent people and, consequently, produce a perpetual threat of more terrorist attacks, which would, of course, serve as a justification for the continued destruction of American liberty at the hands of the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA.
