Israeli attack on Lebanon, which is by the way, a sovereign nation:

This was the single most lethal episode in the course of this sudden war. The survivors will remember it as the day their children died. For the village, it is a fresh pain in a wound cut more than 10 years ago, when an Israeli attack here killed more than 100 civilians. Many of them were children, too.

The Israeli government apologized for that airstrike, as it did for the one here on Sunday. It said that residents had been warned to leave and should have already been gone.

yeah, that makes it alright.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted, but I finally have some big news. My sister recently competed in the Miss New York Scholarship Pageant in Watertown, New York. After five years of competing in the Miss America system, she has finally won! I was recently talking to Jeremy about the website I have created for my sister (www.missnewyork2006.com) and he suggested I post an entry. Feel free to visit my sister’s site to see where she is making appearances. Also, check out her photo album of the events she has already attended.

Wish her luck at Miss America in California in January!
