SUPER BOWL XLII

After spending the last 20 Sundays, Mondays and sometimes Thursdays and Saturdays on watching football the Super Bowl is finally set. It will feature the 18-0 New England Patriots against Eli Manning's New York (Football) Giants. These teams met in week 17 with the Patriots winning 38-35 to cap off their unbeaten season. This promises to be an amazing game just like their last matchup. It's pretty disappointing that Brett Favre and the Packers couldn't make it to game, but they just didn't play well enough to win. Anyways it should turn out to be a great game with the potential for tons of history being made.

In other news things have heated up in Gaza this week. The IDF and Hamas have been exchanging blows with tons of bloodshed. Rightly, most of the world is calling for all this to end, but I propose that it ends by Israel taking the initiative. I think that they need to send in a large force to finally stop all of this rocket fire once and for all. It's shameful that a country won't even defend their people as they face constant barrages of rockets. If a major operation is carried out competently than maybe things will finally cool down for a bit. Considering that the release of the Winograd Report is due to come out soon it's in Olmert's best interest to please the country by attacking Gaza, then trying to hold on to this peace deal, which most of the country opposes. I hope that he acts swiftly in the next few days.

If Olmert attacks, I hope it's for security reasons, not the political ones you describe.
