Live from Lebanon

During MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann", they were showing live pictures - rather spectacular although that sounds like something positive rather than something horrific - from south of Beirut where major explosions were going off.

Although Israel said this was a "Hezbollah stronghold", Olbermann rightly indicated "they have been wrong about such things before". Like the Bush Administration, every "hit" is a terrorist sometimes even after it's long since been proven that it was no terrorist they hit.

One thing the Bush years have finally taught me: state-sponsored terrorism kills just as deadly, hurts just as much as individual or insurgent terrorism.
