What's going on in the Near East
Over the past six years, Hezbollah has launched periodic raids and rocket attacks into Israel. Israeli retaliation has led to the cessation of these provocations — until the next time convenient for Hezbollah. Wednesday was such a time. One terror base located in fully unoccupied Arab territory (South Lebanon) attacks Israel in support of another terror base in another fully unoccupied Arab territory (Gaza).
A few guys were talking at work today how Israel's response to the attacks on soldiers was disproportionate. Well, when you commit an act of war, it only seems reasonable that war is the result.
