7/28/06: 3 Mile Run: Neighborhood

Another early morning run during which I listened to the latest Daily Source Code. As I am logging this on Saturday, I have heard all of show 429. During this show, Adam referred to my entry for the iPod contest as "very interesting". As I commented on his blog, this is not a good thing for me according to my wife. So, I added an explanation on the comments there. My entry is TheiPodThatLaunched1000Shows.com. This is an allusion to the "face that launched a thousand ships". You know, Helen was taken to Troy and the Greeks sent 1000 ships to fetch her. This resulted in the Trojan War. The guy that started this whole free iPod mess is named Troy, troyneedsanipod.com. Anyway, if I have to explain it, I suppose my fate is predictable. :(

It is really hard to ignore this Israel/Hezbollah war. Not only is it a horrible reflection of the inability of these 2 groups to find a way to resolve their differences without killing people, but it sure seems polarizing. I can't help but think that this plays so well into the hand of Iran's, Al Queda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic militants that it is anything other than calculated. Iran wanted to see Israel get pissed off. If they didn't do much, a good test. If they did do as they are doing, then in time more and more Arabs will get militant. There just seems to be no way to fix this situation. It just plain sucks.
