Assyassination

I first got this news while forgetting our camera at the aforementioned awesome apartment.

I don't want to embark on a long diatribe or anything. I just want to make one comment: In the minds of many, the assassination of Yassin was completely justified. Be that as it may. Suppose that Yassin did deserve to die. The real question ought to be whether this act (and the other assassinations apparently being planned by the Israeli government) will successfully bring an end to violence in the region.

Perhaps the Israeli leadership could begin by taking a cursory look at the concept of a "martyr".
