SPIRITUAL LEADER OF HAMAS KILLED

Sheikh Ahmed Yassin has been killed during an Israeli airstrike.

I think Genghis's comment sums up my feelings perfectly - "the spritual leader is where he belongs - in the spirit world".

While I still don't think the Israeli policy of fighting fire with fire will actually ever help sole the problems in the region, I can understand why they have adopted it. No doubt this guy's death at the hands of an Israeli helicopter attack will only lead to huge protests, and probably huge violence, amongst the Arab community, but frankly the guy was a very senior member of a terrorist organisation who sent suicide bombers into Israel but didn't have the balls to go himself.

Now he's dead.

Good.
