From the War Front

Major ‘Y’, an F-16 pilot in the Israeli Air Force, writes about his unusual experiences of the past several days. I like his closing paragraph;

1800 I join up with a few friends on Tel Aviv beach. We’re having some beers, enjoying the breeze and watching the sunset. After a while I say something about how bizarre the situation is – we’re here having fun, while whole towns in the north are being bombarded. Wait a minute – they ask me, haven’t you been called up? Sure, I reply. Just this morning I dropped two tons of explosives on Lebanon.

I have little sympathy for any country that supports terrorist groups and can only hope that Israel keeps pushing until Hezbollah hand over the IDF soldiers they kidnapped and withdraws and Lebanon undertakes not to allow them to operate within their borders anymore. Simple really.
