I am not really (too much) trying to get the naysayers to change their minds...as I am pointing out that they aren't..in question form.

I know I am being somewhat tacky...but, I want all of the doomsaying to be channeled into positive thoughts and prayers...because it seems that whoever/however Olmert has changed his tone...Thank G-D for it.

You must be a mind reader, I was just looking at that post by Alouette. Excellent news. Can you imagine the look on someone sitting in a restaurant or public place. They'd have to act shocked and alarmed due to Hezbo presence, perhaps, while secretly glad.

Mine exploded Sunday near Israel-Syria border






A landmine exploded on the Syrian side of the Israel-Syria border on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed Monday.



Military officials said the incident may have been an attempt by Hizbullah to drag Syria to the conflict with Israel. (Hanan Greenberg)

Paul Harvey said this morning the Iraqi VP denounced Israel.

Iraq vice president accuses Israel of massacres

BAGHDAD, July 31 (Reuters) - Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul Mahdi accused Israel on Monday of "massacres" in Lebanon, the toughest criticism so far of the Jewish state by the U.S.-backed Baghdad government.

"These ugly massacres, which are being implemented by the hands of the Israeli aggression, incites in us the spirit of brotherhood, solidarity," he said.

I just had a guy in our breakroom state:

That since Israel had conducted prisoner exchanges in the past that he Hezzies had every reason to expect that they would just enter into a deal and that Israel had no right to take the action it ha..killing all the innocent Lebanese..

And Im thinking,,,,this will become a war between people that have the ability to reason and use logic vs. those that cant, wont and have no moral compass.

You know the first report of the mine going off inside Syria and now this report very quickly on its heels makes me think 1) Hizbullah is trying to drag Syria in or 2) Israel wants to give Syria what they have comin' to em'

You can't really control how others respond to events.

We all have something to contribute here and we're all entitled to our ways of doing it.

What you call "doomsaying" I call confronting reality and speaking truth. We know that "leaders" are not reliable and bear careful watching.

Your admonition to positive thoughts and prayers --- also offered by Knitting a Conundrum and conservativepoet --- I receive and concur in a good spirit.

God bless Israel.
