Two minor updates

First, Hezbollah has rocketed a civilian vessel in Lebanese waters. My question would be: what in blazes was any civilian craft doing in the middle of a war zone? Unless they were actively trying to escape Lebanon, that has to go near the top of the list of absolutely brilliant tactical manuvers.

Second, our favorite Latin American enfant terrible is saying that US support of Israel's assault on Lebanon will lead to a "holocaust". My hope would be that any of the leftist moonbats who tend to support him would take this as a bit of a wake-up call. But I'm not that hopeful, as the left tends far more towards anti-Semitism in particular and racism in general than anyone else these days.
