Internet video from Lebanon
This doesn’t look like the “brink of war” anymore, does it: Back To Iraq - Video report. Christopher, if you ever come to Munich, Germany… I’m buying the drinks.

The idea seems to be to create something along the lines of a DMZ. The people living there have been given 24 hours to leave. There’s currently no mention of this story on CNN, so consider it unconfirmed. My source: Eric Umansky.
There seem to be coordination problems within the EU on how to evacuate our citizens. Well, Berlin even sent a few busses to evacuate 3000 Germans from the region. In contrast, Great Britain and France sent their navies, with even the British aircraft carrier “HMS Illustrious” being on its way. Well, we Germans are not exactly known for our capacity to actually do something about anything :-/.
But whatever happens, especially the US american’ news services should finally recognize that the middle east is at war. As The Daily Show recently reported, according to CNN, 300 missiles hitting a city only brings a region “at the brink” of war… sigh.
