SOME CULTURES HAVE STRANGE GREETINGS

Two Katyusha rockets have been fired into northern Israel from Lebanon.  This follows the incident Sunday in which Iranian patrol boats harassed three U.S. Navy warships, something we discussed here last night.  See "Evening Update" below.  The Jerusalem Post reported:

It was not yet clear which group fired the rockets, but the defense establishment was examining the possibility that they were fired as an attempt by Hizbullah or other terror groups in Lebanon to disrupt Wednesday's visit of US President George W. Bush.  

You think? 

Read the Post's story here.  Will anyone in New Hampshire notice that there have now been two provocations preceding the president's visit to the Middle East?  Anyone interested in such ho-hum subjects as the real world?
