Escalating Conflict Between Israel and Lebanon
CNN.com - Israel bombards Beirut�amid spiraling attacks - Jul 13, 2006
Bad news out of the middle east generally continues, as Israel is escalating a conflict with Lebanon/Syria due to some of the leaders of those countries being backers of Hezbollah. The conflict began to be exacerbated by each side retaliating for the other capturing prisoners, and has escalated with rocket attacks against Israeli sites and Israel not bombing the major airport in Beirut. This cannot lead anywhere good, quite frankly. A war is always to be avoided when possible, and I hope that people will pray that war will not be the result here, and that all parties involved will work toward a calming of hostilities.

It is certainly good news that the space shuttle launched successfully today. However, I continue to believe that if the United States believes that manned space flight is a worthwhile endeavour, it is well past time to focus on the creation of a new space vehicle. The space shuttle technology is from the 1970's, and as one commentator pointed out on ABC's World News Tonight yesterday, can you think of a single piece of equipment in your home that is from the 70's? I cannot.
