Israel has shown that "defending it's citizens" involves alot of bloodshed on the other side, and I don't pass judgement either way on the effectiveness or desirability for this. It does establish the type of action that those political words seem to turn into.
However, if a retaliatory strike happens outside of isreal, and civilians are killed, it will make it MANY times harder for the US to come out looking good in the eyes of the arab world.
There is some hope that this time around they will do what they did last time - stay out of it. Protect their borders, man the patriot missle banks, and minimize the effects - in all ways.
