The Syrians did not succeed in their fifth attempt to bomb Lebanon, thankfully.

If you're interested, there's more background here] about 500 meters (yards) away from the upmarket Rest House beach resort in the southern city of Tyre, Lebanon Wednesday, June 6, 2007.

Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website.

In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Typical cowardly Arab tactic. These sort of disguised bombs were very common in Israel during the 60s and 70s, planted by Arab terrorists of course. I remember seeing ads in the cinema warning children not to kick stray cans or pick up empty cigarette packs because they might be bombs.

And putting the bomb by the beach? More of the same cowardly brutality. Such heroes these Arab terrorists.
