        It&apos;s things like this that worry me the most.

As far as I can tell, the only thing stopping Israel from simply walking artillery across every square yard of Gaza and the West Bank is... Israel.

I really don&apos;t think doing experimental research into what it would take to get them to do this is a good idea.

        It certainly is tempting and maybe if we did things like that (along Sherman&apos;s, LeMay&apos;s et al concept of total war), we would have less enemy to deal with...

        Well, normally it&apos;d be a Hellfire off either a Cobra, Apache or Predator but the Maverick would make a bigger, um, statement. 

That said, being an old Hog driver, while I looove the thought of the CBU (and the 87 especially), I just couldn&apos;t bring myself to suggest it given the inherent gotchas these things sometimes bring to the fight...like duds. Of course, they&apos;re aren&apos;t many friendlies in the area, but there are a number of non-combatants. So, the better angels of my nature held sway...but it&apos;s tempting, ain&apos;t it?
