So sad. I slept late today (shoulders hurting, need narcotics, RA is bad in the winter) and just found out. My husband took Ben to Annapolis for a rifle match. Nick just came in to tell me, and says on the boards he reads they are speculating that it was done by Palestinians or Palestinian sympathizers because of the Israeli astronaut.

I told him no, that's not possible, they were way too high and moving too fast for terrorists to get at them.

He was polite enough to pretend like he believed me but I could tell that he didn't believe me, after all, I am just his mother. That's what kids live with these days.

I wonder if there was dancing in the streets in the West Bank and Gaza, in Cairo and Baghdad. I don't really want to know, of course.

Edit: just took a pass through some world news sites. It's too late in the news cycle for the smaller ones but there is speculation in some (Australian Age, but not the BBC nor Straights Times) about possible terrorism. Maybe it's possible. That would be a spectacular coup for someone, wouldn't it?
