Dome of the Rocket

Catching up today. Yesterday's composition time was taken up by driving a friend home from the wreckage of his totaled car.

The Iron Dome has proved its effectiveness against rockets entering Israel from Gaza.

I'm much more impressed with this technique than the older, Sharon-style Unit 101 techniques of combating terrorism.

I’ve made a brief comparison. Observe:
“A rocket for a rocket” is a creed
Far better than invasion when impeding
Borders and civilians hit a nerve
Among the watching world. A time ago,
The policy was simpler: invade,
And if opposing forces haven’t swayed,
Invade anew (it brought a bitter blow
To Begin). There’s a fundamental flaw
In thinking strength is all that is required.
Better when the enemy is mired,
Wasting all their effort on the draw.
Frustrated foes are money in your pocket.
The Dome, today, is also of the Rocket.
