Wonky

So I was at work Thursday, when I ran into an old friend from high school. She jsut got back from Lebanon, and is still pretty shaken up. She just so happens to be Lebanese, so the last couple of weeks have been doubly painful. The Israelis invaded about half an hour after her flight took off, and she still hasn't heard from her cousin in Tripoli. To make matters worse, she was watching the news, and saw the apartment where her friend lives get hit by rockets; fortunately, her friend had already moved out. As much as I agree with the Israelis, it is difficult to look a Lebanese person in the eye and say so. Israel has to go into Lebanon to eliminate Hezbollah, but a lot of innocent Lebanese are pretty much getting fucked over. It's like burning everything in the south, in order to eliminate the Ku Klux Klan. They're assholes, but hitting them means hitting a lot of people who haven't done anything wrong.
I'm not saying Israel should pull out of Lebanon, I'm just saying that Lebanon is kind of getting fucked over. If Israel wants to beat Hezbollah, it has to go to the source: Hezbollah was trained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Looks like confrontation with Iran may be inevitable. Oh, well. Fuck 'em. They've had an ass-kicking on layaway for some time now, guess it's just about time to deliver!

Salaam Aleykum, Bitches!
