What is going on with Israel and Lebanon?
As I was ending my work day on Wed., my bartender who was coming back from the front desk mentioned that the TV in the lobby had the news on and the newscaster was talking about the possibility that the conflict over in that part of the world could possibly develop into World War Three. She said they were talking about how the U.S. is completely backing Israel in it's offensive in trying to stop "Hezbollah", which is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S., from wreaking more "mayhem" over in the southern part of Lebanon and in Northern Israel.
The roots of this conflict goes very deep and very far back in recent history and the U.S. has been involved in trying to stop the "on again-off again" violence many times in the past 30 years.
The bombing that is currently going on between the two is affecting a lot of people and as I was talking with some of my staff at work yesterday, I mentioned the fact that so much of what is happening over there in the world has been talked about since the days of the bible and that some of the things seem to coincide with what the bible calls "The End Times" and "Armageddon"....the end of the world as we know it.
Well for the time being, the conflict over there is affecting quite a few people back here in Wisconsin and in Milwaukee in particular. The story below that I have linked to tells of a few people who must surly be going through pure terror right now in trying to get out of "harms way".
JS Online:Far-off conflict hits home for families
I for one will live each day to the fullest and share my love and affection and my positive nature with all of those that mean something to me. None of really knows when the end will come for our species but if the human population keeps this crap up I have no doubt it will be sooner than later.
I say "Live like there is no tomorrow...because there may not be one if things like this keep on going on".
But...if things do end unexpectedly, I will have to say at least for myself that it has been an interesting "ride"....
A good Friday to all.
