Redirecting

Ok, so I haven't had much content lately. I have been busy. This guy is a good read.

Rantings of a Sandmonkey » Surprised?

Maybe later I'll do something other than link other good content.

Interesting paragraph.

The problem with Israel fighting Hizbollah is that it is a non state actor. Can a country have a war with a political party in another country without being at war with the host country? If the host country is not strong enough to control non state actors within its borders, can other countries control the non state actors?


Whiskey Bar: Punching Above Its Weight

In that sense, Hezbollah may have found the sweet spot in Fourth Generation War: It isn't a state and doesn't carry the political or defensive burdens of one, but it controls enough territory, commands enough popular loyalty and has enough allies to mount some fairly sophisticated military operations, using both conventional and nonconventional weapons. It's powerful enough to be successful -- and be seen as successful -- but not so powerful that state actors like Israel can fight it on equal terms. We may be looking at the New Model Army of the 21st century.

"We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And *I* will make them pay for what they've done."

Yeah, that sucks. It sucks when people have to live in fear. I shed tears for the Lebanese and Israelis tonight. I hope that they keep their hopes up while cooped in bomb shelters, and that things do not get worse.

Gah.

I am lucky I moved, our company's people moved to a subdivision (compound) that was bombed, Hiroko had her windows shattered by the blast.

No one wants to live like that.

wow

I never thought I would see the day. Saudi Arabia on Israel's side. I got a lot of comments about what is happening. First things first, buy gas before gas futures that will be delivered in a month cause gas prices to go up tomorrow.. (ha, explain that one to me, please, anyone!)

Putin's Kitten

YouTube - Putin's kiss

Putin poofing a little boy. Afterwards when asked he said it was "prompted by a desire to 'touch him like a kitten' " or " He said that he wanted to 'stroke him like a kitten'." HA! It looks like Putin likes the boys. And not just any boys, but young scared Russian boys. " 'I tell you honestly, I just wanted to stroke him like a kitten and it came out in this gesture. There is nothing behind it.'" WOW. Check out what the boy said "The Izvestia daily reported that he has refused to bathe ever since.
Nikita said: 'I just liked him and he liked me very much. I want to be
president myself.' "   

Ever seen a Penguin do that?!
