"...every bridge leading to Belgrade."

And, fittingly for this thread; the power plant.

Making bombs and bad rockets is much more risky in the dark I hear.

LOL! It is amazing how contact with the real world will change the most stedfast of our internal opinions.

You made me laugh hard on that one. I can't say I didn't tell her so. I just got an email from her( in Hebrew) and she's mad as h*ll and not going to take it anymore. Dang I bet she twists the key on a nuke soon enough!

I wouldn't blame her. I was ready to hop the next plane locked and loaded when I heard her story. She may be 23 but she's still my baby girl and no desert rat is going to harm on hair on her head.

Funny, but I'm not hearing the outcry against this that I would have expected. The world seems to be winking and quietly calling for "restraint", but I'm not hearing the "Withdraw! Withdraw! Poool Out! Stup De Bumbing!" that one normally hears at these times.

The power station that was hit with missiles, is insured by a U.S. company.

Most insurance doesn't cover acts of war, your's or someone else's.

I'll bet you that policy has an exclusion for "Acts of War". Broadly defined.

"Oh. You have the No-Pay Policy . . . "

Boo-hoo...he must not have remembered Billy Jeff and NATO bombing bridges, car factories, and every other kind of infrastructure they could hit in Serbia. We could ignore the Geneva Convention during the Clinton administration without the SCOTUS saying a discouraging word about it.

What is really sickening when looking at these Israeli funeral pictures is the thought that it could very well be guns bought with US taxpayer funds that killed this young man.

Unfortunately, according to another article, this policy did cover "political violence".

Still its a general principal that insurance doesn't cover your own deliberate acts, and It's certainly arguable that the damage was a foreseeable result of their own action.

Well, is this really "political violence"? That sounds more like local stuff, not an attack by another country . . . and your idea about foreseeable consequence of deliberate (and illegal) acts is a good one too.

If I were the insurance company, I'd deny the claim and litigate it out . . . unless they could get jurisdiction and venue in the PA . . . talk about getting "home cooked" . . . they might really GET cooked (i.e. blown up).
