Trying to See the Forest

I usually concentrate on local Israeli news and family events for this blog. I am grateful for other bloggers who are interested in more far-ranging things, so that I stay informed.

Michael Totten takes a trip to south Lebanon, six months after the war there. His account is chilling - the "watchers" on the roads spying on who travels in and around Hizballah held territory remind me how wonderful it is to live in a free country (with all of its problems). Don't miss the picture of the destroyed village - with the completely intact mosque - which proves what we knew all along. The IAF was precise in its targeting last summer.

Daledamos has an interesting post about how the lawmakers are trying to impeach the President....of Iran. It seems that Achmadinejad really does have political headaches.

Oceanguy explores the question of whether there really are moderate Muslims in his posts here and here.

Telchaination reports about three men arrested trying to infiltrate the Miami port. I found this interesting, because the way I heard it there was "just" a false alarm. Media spin in America doing its thing?

All worth a look.
