Sorry bro, that's a retarded way of looking at it. How about this instead: Hamas rocket fire has stopped (for now) and my friends and relatives in Ashkelon and Ashdod can go about their lives and not run to bomb shelters every hour.

How about this: The Israeli government and IDF did their job, and forced Hamas into a cease-fire. Sure, Hamas still has rockets, but they also know that if they start firing again, they'll get smacked again...just as hard...

How ABOUT THIS: The first job of any government, IMHO, is to protect its' citizens. Obviously you do not feel that way. But then again, you did not have a rocket expode 200 meters from your house, like my cousin did.
The Israelis went in to stop the rocket fire on their civilians. And the rocket fire has stopped. Short-term objective accomplished.
