The Israelis have called in reinforcements but still haven’t committed to a ground war. Meanwhile, Arab states cheer on the underdog.

Should have linked this yesterday: An Oxford professor, with an op-ed in the L.A. Times, blames the war in Lebanon on 19th century Europe.

Under an obscure law passed by Republicans in 1996, the Bush administration’s handling of detainees just might qualify them as war criminals. Does the administration change its policy? Or change the law? Here’s your answer.

America’s major power grids are showing signs of age. Nothing a little more deregulation can’t fix!

Israel in this tough time, is doing a great job killing terrorists and their kids so America doesn't have to. The conventional wisdom is Seattle is often anti-Israel and only The Stranger has the balls to print the truth. It's not going to help the local Jewish community right now to be associated with Israel, so I agree with your editorial decision to play down Israel's invasion of Lebanon for now and blog about celebrities and Republicans instead. Excellent job of keeping blog discourse on point. Thanks to everyone at The Stranger.
