Cyprus at the breaking point

In the last four days, 12,000 refugees fleeing Lebanon have debarked in Cyprus, where there are absolutely no facilities for this kind of crowd. Not enough hotels, not enough drinking water, not enough food, not enough latrines...and thousands more expected. So much for the evacuations by ferry...they dump you in Cyprus and buona notte!

This is just as irresponsible as the Israeli leaflets fluttering down on Southern Lebanon. Just where are the tens of thousands of Shi'ite villagers supposed to go? Beirut Public School No. 2?

Of course the US is losing no time in delivering more bombs

"The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon...satellite and laser-guided bombs....Israel’s request for expedited delivery of the satellite and laser-guided bombs was described as unusual by some military officers, and as an indication that Israel still had a long list of targets in Lebanon to strike."
