500,000 people displaced in Lebanon

Who knew there were that many terrorists in such a small country.

More progress in killing the terrorists:

In al-Srifa, at least 15 houses were completely demolished, the head of al-Srifa town municipality told Aljazeera.

News reports said at least 17 villagers, including several children, were killed and 30 wounded.

Afif Najdi, the mayor, said there had been a "massacre committed in Srifa".

"There are dozens dead and massive destruction. Emergency services are putting out fires they cannot reach the houses to recover bodies," he said.

At least 29 other civilians were killed in air raids on other parts of south and east Lebanon, security sources said.

This is a humanitarian crisis in the making.

2. You know what

I'm old. I've lived through war, terror, nightime air raids as a toddler, and now the insanity that is America. I'm to the point where I just don't care much anymore. The only thing keeping me from living my life on a beach in Brazil is my young son.

Sorry about the rant, but this is like watching a train wreck in super slow motion.
