I've Been Thinking:

Hassan Nasrallah was interviewed on al Jazeera TV yesterday.
One smart aleck I know asked why, if he could get to al Jazeera, how come Israel can't get to him, but that's another question for another time.

Nasrallah, typical of his rhetoric, made some pretty wild statements.
He spoke of the two young Arab brothers from Nazareth killed by a Hezbullah sent katyusha bomb.
Nasrallah called the boys "shahid"s. He said that they are martyrs for Allah who died fighting for a Holy Cause. He said that they merit automatic places in heaven.

Everyone with a heart grieves for the parents of these boys, but honestly, they were two kids playing outside like kids do - when a bomb fell and killed them.
The death of these boys, like all other civilian deaths in this crisis is a tragedy, but they bring no honor.

Nasrallah is so deluded in his own mission that he even views his own mistakes as divine.
Open your eyes, Muslim world.
The great leader Hassan Nasrallah, like other despots and dictators, lives a life of self-delusion.
