Hot spots

We do seem to have a knack for picking hot spots to visit. We recently went to Syria soon after the US had bombed Iraqi targets inside Syrian borders, Istanbul during a pro-Palestine demonstration, and Athens in a lull between anit-police riots. And then there is Lebanon. On Thursday three rockets were lobbed into northern Israel and shortly thereafter a few more hit the Bekaa Valley (from Israel). But that seems to have been it. Hezbollah denied shooting them and it looks like cooler heads have prevailed, at lest on that front. Don't get me started on the carnage in Gaza.
