More email from Eileen in Haifa
Email of my husband's schoolmate in Haifa | 07/19/2006 | Eileen in Haifa

Posted on 07/19/2006 10:29:08 AM PDT by Mercat

Dear Everyone,

The enclosed is from Strategic Forecast (“Stratfor” on Google). It gives incredible insights into what is going on from a solely strategic viewpoint. No politics. I recommend running off hard copies and studying them. These reports end with 16 July, so you will have to search the Web site to find the ones from 17 July on.

Yesterday was another five-alarm day, but nothing dropped on Haifa. Today no sirens, but we heard rockets hit, so they must have hit close by. But no warning siren. Figure that.

Haaretz is your best online option for finding out what is going on. The trailer announced the hits in Haifa within a minute or two. The lead article explains why the IDF needs 10 to 14 more days to finish the job it set out to do. Fox News is your best 24-hour network news reporting for cutting through the nonsense through to the chase and telling it like it is. My left-leaning, liberal heart really hurts to admit it, but O’Reilly on Fox News is telling it exactly as I feel it is concerning the war.

What do people do when they feel anxious? They eat!!! There’s food all over the office. Since Bahá’ís prohibiting from drinking alcohol or doing drugs, sugar is our “drug of choice” in times like these.

At least I don’t have to leave my office whenever something happens. Any indoor location away from windows facing the port is considered a safe room, so I work through whatever is happening.

Love to all,

Eileen

I didn't include the 11 page word document she attached. You can find it by searching the internet for “Stratfor.”

I'm not sure how to ping someone so if I missed someone, sorry.

My daughter is another Baha'i volunteer there; she was saying that they often get their news from CNN or SKY because that's what's available --I didn't realize they got FOX there too. She often calls me to ask what I've come across because she knows I lurk around these threads...

She hasn't called today (yet) and it's getting pretty late there now. Ping me when you get more news.
