Robert, I am hopeful that with Putin and Bush getting cozy, and the likelihood of the Central Asian oil fields being developed and routed thru Afganistan, the era of the brutally oppressive arab regimes may have finally run its course. It is indeed possible that the latest homegrown arab master terrorist, Osama bin Laden exposed for all to see the hopelessness of relying upon the Saudi's and the Egyptians to come thru when they are called upon, by the country that has saved their ass time and again. I am hopeful that Bush Jr. isnt about to let these assholes make a mockery of his legacy, and that we may have finally turned a corner to sanity.

Over the last few weeks, southern Lebanon has been gripped by rising tension involving both Palestinian insurgents as well as Syrian laborers. The focus of Palestinian tension is the Ein Hilwe refugee camp outside of Sidon. A Lebanese military statement issued on Wednesday said army positions around Ein Hilwe have been repeatedly attacked.
