One killed in Lebanon protest over anti-Islam film, pope

Oh crap, they know the Pope is in town. I sure hope he didn't leave the Popemobile at home.
I'd say we're verging on riot here, protest just isn't cutting the image anymore if you know what I mean.
It's kinda like that recession and depression thing, there's a really big difference.
Update
US embassy in London is now involved in the party to, and the Sudanese brought fireworks in the form of guns to the party they're throwing at the German embassy there. They kinda lit the building on fire to.


One demonstrator was killed and two others were wounded in clashes with security forces in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Friday in protests over a film insulting the Muslim Prophet Mohammad and against the pope's visit to Lebanon.

A security source said the man was killed as protesters tried to storm a government building. Earlier, a U.S. fast food restaurant was set alight. Twelve members of the security forces were wounded by stones thrown by protesters, the source said.

Anti-Islam film protests Live Blog

The Pope is in Lebanon. He's a little pissed about the anti-christian thing going on in the Middle East.
He called for a demand meeting. Now this was before all hell broke loose. It was right after the church desecration in Israel. The Cardinals were all pretty upset over the the teaching of anti-Christianity in Israel. Apparently the kids are taught to disrespect the priests and they take it a little to far.
Contrary to popular belief, In Israel, Jews do not like Christians.
Mean while back at the pass, the demonstrations swell.
Some are peaceful and some are not, they do what they were intended to do.
Squelch the Pope.
Believe it or not....

Israel's future 'at risk' if Iran strike sanctioned



Hmm I wonder what those defects were. Here in America we're never told if there were problems. It's all made out to be just guns and roses resulting in the ultimate victory.

The former Supreme Court judge appointed by Israel's government to investigate the defects of its 2006 war against Lebanon has issued an outspoken warning that a unilateral strike on Iran's nuclear facilities could "endanger the future of the country".

Here's hoping Israel will listen for everybody's sake

Judge Eliyahu Winograd's warning came as the US was reported to be planning a series of military preparations designed both to convince Israel to hold back from such a strike and Iran to take more seriously the stalemated negotiations designed to halt its perceived progress towards a nuclear weapons capability.

Oh wow, the things you learn when you're cruisin the news

Judge Winograd used an Army Radio interview to deride the claim by the Defence Minister Ehud Barak that no more than 500 Israelis would be killed in retaliation for a strike and questioned whether his own severe criticism of the military's and the previous government's handling of the Lebanon war had been taken to heart.
