I’m blogging involuntarily, in a way. Starting a new job and a new chapter in my life had pushed blogging, flickering and other things to the background. Nothing like a war (if you must call it that… extermination is what I call it) to drag you back into it.
I’d started out by saying that the […]

I see no path that can be taken to stop the downward spiral that Lebanon is caught in. It’s a sad fact that the Israelis won’t listen to the international community, that Hizbollah won’t voluntarily give up its weapons and terrorist ways, and that innocent civilians are powerless against the bombs raining down on them.

When you attacked without being provoked, you are a resistance movement. When you sacrifice a country for your agenda, you are righteous.
Tribal Mentality:
So, you cross into a sovereign nation, kill some of their soldiers and kidnap others. Of course you’re justified, they’re soldiers. That’s what they’re there for. What, the nation wants retribution? Murderers! […]

Iran’s terrorist-in-chief proudly proclaimed today that if Israel bombed Syria, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the arab/muslim world… I guess suddenly, Lebanon is not part of that world. I don’t know whether to be enraged, to laugh my ass off, or to feel relief.

Some like beer, others don’t. Some are alcoholics, others believe that drinking alcohol is a sin. Miniskirts and burkas, crosses and crescents… […]

Most-Wanted Chechen Rebel Basayev Killed.
Another one bites the dust… raf’d say “nuff said”.
Personally, I’m thinking of starting a blog just to report whenever one of these nice gentlemen is taken down. Just a name, date and a big “HELL YEAH!”.

“The English may have invented this game (one of these years they’ll actually get around to playing it), but the Italians know all of its tricks, all of its angles, all of its shadows. If Machiavelli was around today, he’d be a midfielder for the Azzurri.” -  The Boston Globe,  July 10, 2005.
