On Thursday it happened, conclusively - Operation Cast Lead turned insane. Attacking any densely populated city is a serious act at any time, but when Israel's international legitimacy is being ground to dust, such an attack is nothing but madness.

Destroying it on world television screens, in the living rooms of the international community and most importantly, in Obama's America.
