Cut off the head, and...

The Hamas sect has already declared another leader. This news comes as completely entertaining to me, as, while I didn't feel any sympathy for the original Sheikh, this is extremely reminiscent of "you take an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind." The new leader apparently is more aggressive than the last one (if that is imaginable), and has vowed revenge against the Zionist occupation.

In the meantime, Israel has vowed to keep killing the Hamas leadership. But, the best part, is that the Hamas has decided that the United States helped in this attack (and with the Republican response, it wouldn't really surprise me). They have hinted that they might attack the US, so thanks Israel. *roll eyes*

Why can't they just do some mass killings of each other and get it over with, instead of these wimpy suicide bombings and missile assaninations (though from a helicopter is pretty hilarious)? It'd probably be more humane.

In related news, the death toll in Madrid has been lowered from 202 to 190. Apparently 13 body bags containing parts thought to belong to individuals really belonged to other bodies or to victims who lost limbs. For some reason I can't help but imagine the Very Bad Things scenario where they're sorting out the body parts ("We have a torso over here!").
