It's a horrid situation, but if Northern Mexico was under the de-facto control of a political/military organisation sworn to wiping the US off the map, and two US soldiers were captured on US soil....we would be doing the same thing and we enjoy an easy 20:1 military advantage. However, there certainly is a difference (with vastly differing downstream political consequences) between a measured strategic response and the destruction of a country's infrastructure (which will have no effect save to support Hezbollah recruiting efforts.) I am scratching my head. And if any of those hottie IDF gals are thinking of going AWOL....
