Totally agree with the article in that I do not by any means consider Israeli use of force excessive- but hasn't history demonstrated that by and large, punitive air campaigns turn civilian populations against the aggressor, not their home govt?

In this case, while I think that Israel has done the right thing in using force, I would have to disagree with what KIND of force they are using. Data suggests that airpower has limited coercive effectiveness in these kind of situations.

Thoughts?
