Rubble
Aired 7/24/06 Rubble
The 24 hour news machines sometimes gets way ahead of itself in term of pumping up a story. For example calling Lebanon "World War III" really is missing the historical context.
Which is really rather absurd. With 24 hours to fill instead of repeating the same stuff over and over again why not spend a few minutes of it giving viewers context and perspective. Maybe that isn't as fun as scaring the heck out of them with suggestions of Nuclear Apocalypse, but it certainly is more responsible.
A usefull Wikipedia article
And another on Israel Invades Lebanon 1 with many many parallels to the sequel.
