Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water

outrageous... beirut was just getting back on its feet after years and years of conflict... the tourists have been coming back, some even to ski (yes, lebanon has some pretty decent skiing!), the beach areas had been restored, and now the israelis, super-power war-fiends that they are, wipe out the recovery in a single blow... it'll be years again before any tourist flies into beirut to enjoy the wonderful lebanese hospitality... and that's not even mentioning the very real likelihood that we could soon see the entire region engulfed in war...

Israel intensified its attacks against Lebanon on Thursday, blasting Beirut's airport in its heaviest air campaign against its neighbor in 24 years. Four dozen civilians had died in the violence following the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah, officials said. After warplanes punched holes in the airport's runways just south of Beirut, Israel's army chief Brig. Gen. Dan Halutz warned that "nothing is safe" in Lebanon. He said Beirut itself -- particularly offices and residences of Hezbollah officials -- would be a target.

the israelis have learned the lessons of their american sponsors very well... bomb first, ask questions later...
