In case you hadn’t noticed Israel is bombing the crap out of Lebanon. I know I am repeating the obvious here but this came very recently after North Korea started throwing missiles into the Pacific and Iran started playing with nuclear weapons.
Now Iran and North Korea are known to have fairly strong links to each other and Hezbollah are known to have ties in Iran.
So I see it as no small coincidence that Hezbollah saw fit to cause a stir at an appropriate time and Israel was prompted to respond and media attention appears to have thus been diverted from the aforementioned Iran and North Korea.
Meanwhile what are Iran and North Korea up to? (I would like to stick a link to a news article here but I can't find one!)
And then the other day in London I was accosted by protesters against the Israeli assault on Lebanon who were, in effect, complaining about the British governments failure to intervene in the situation.
How come though, that these protestors failed to notice that nobody (including the UN) has intervened in the Ethiopians (albeit much milder) invasion of Somalia? Or that Somalia hasn’t had a government since 1992?
