Some have inquired as to why I haven't been posting on the conflict in the Middle East, given my vested interest in the region and seeing as it is such a big event. I have been watching closely, but to be honest, I just haven't felt the need to drop any words as the MSM had up to this point covered it pretty accurately. No one likes Hezbollah. Well, terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, and future terrorists LOVE Hezbollah. I was quite surprised to see the Arab nations initially take a hands-off approach to the situation. Also, I was stunned that the media would portray Hezbollah in such a negative light. For a few days, moral equivalency went out the door, and Israel was allowed to do everything within their power to solidify the security of their nation. It was clear to see that they were restraining themselves as best they could, while also strategically knocking out every Hezbollah bastion of power they were aware of (most nestled in residential areas, a common deterrent tactic of terrorists who are truly cowards at heart). As expected, the media has turned against the forces of civilization and democracy. We've also learned that while John Edwards would have been able to make Christopher Reeve walk again, John Kerry could have resolved the whole Middle East mess (with Howard Dean's help of course)! So things are devolving into the normal mess in the media, but Israel continues to do what needs to be done.
