Seriously, Bowser, it's hard to deny the facts on the ground. Since Sharon's offensive the suicide bombings have decreased dramatically. Sure, anything can happen in the long run, but what Matt is saying is essentially correct: Sharon's offensive has for now crushed the terrorist infrastructure. How many innocent Israeli men, women, children, and old people's lives has this saved? Hundreds at the very least I would say.

As for the "creating more hate" problem you like to talk about, at some point you have to stop worrying about the sensitivities of people who want to KILL YOU, and just go in and kick their ass!
