"Israeli artillery shells earlier exploded in the hills of southern Lebanon, sometimes as many as 15 per minute. The military said its aircraft were hitting Hezbollah targets all over the country."
15 per minute, that'll clear out some land.

After the war I nominate you to do the "what can we do to defeat the 5th column threads"?

I was all of 10 or 11 when that song was going around...and it stuck in my mind. Very acidy. I liked the music of it then. Sort of went out of my mind. Then one day, my hubby who's a big Donovan fan mentioned a line from the song, and I managed to pull all the lyrics back up. Amazing what gets stored in the brain like that....
Careful, she might hear ya!

Good morning Karl!
