Actually, you're half right. If Tijuana lobbed bombs into the U.S., the Mexican government would destroy the bombers. The United States would not need to take any action themselves. The Palestinians have chosen to adopt Hamas as it's official leadership instead of disarming them. And no, that doesn't mean the the innocents being killed "deserve" to die. Nobody deserves to die for the crimes of others. But the attacks Israel is making on Hamas in Palestine are as well-justified as the attacks the U.S. made on Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11. Afghanistan had no direct involvement in the attacks, but they were harboring the people who did and refused to take action against them.
