Viva hate

After a period of relative silence (at least for that area of the world), the Middle East has once again decided to try to rip itself and the rest of the world apart. Hezbollah killed several Israeli soldiers earlier this week and kidnapped two others. Israel responded by attacking Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. There have, of course, been plenty of subsequent casualties on both sides.

It's also so unfortunate that the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians was actually making such progress before being hamstrung by the advent of Hamas being brought to power by the general election.

It seems to me that things are once again disintegrating and the Middle East will be consumed in the anarchy of all out war one more time. Sadat and Begin must be looking down on all this and shaking their heads.

But then again, how can you compete with this kind of craziness?
