So did I miss the meeting where Israel declared war on Lebanon? I didn’t catch the memo when this became a thing. I haven’t got a map to lead me to the place where something like this occurs. It’s one thing to occasionally volley missles into Palestinian territory; I’ve always considered that to be the full-scale version of throwing rocks at your neighbor who you can’t stand.

This is on the other hand is like walking across the street to your neighbor’s house with a knife in your teeth, slashing his tires, and kicking in the door. And lest we forget, when Hezbollah declares “war on every level” it’s like the neighbor you’ve picked a fight with happens to be an MMA fighting champion. These guys invented modern terrorism, so Israel is really humping a hornet’s nest on this one.

According to some quick web searching, Beirut is home to around 1.3m people whereas San Francisco is home to .75m. Beirut has 10 Starbucks for crying out loud. Do you know how many Starbucks there are in Tel Aviv? ZERO.

When’s the last time a country without a Starbucks attacked a country with a Starbucks?!
