I can tell by your question you think waiting long enough will ultimately bring them home.

I don't think that. I don't know if that would enable success, or not. But if that is not done, then I'm quite sure that the hostages will come home.....if at all.....only to be buried.

I think the Israelis should have gone in already. Not to do so simply validates the Hamas strategy. It is not a matter of 200 hostages but hundreds of deaths every year in continuing the cat and mouse status quo until some other "solution" comes along

It's a much more complex situation and history. One of the threads in the current situation is that Netanyahu and his cohorts actually enabled support for Hamas to maintain conflict between the PLA/West Bank and Hamas/Gaza, which they were convinced would prevent either group from becoming strong enough to be a true threat to Israel.
