mideast conflict rages on

With the mideast situation going from bad to worse:
BBC News - Israel imposes Lebanon blockade
Yahoo News - Israeli warplanes attack Beirut airport
Well they kidnapped Israeli soldiers when Israel is already trying to save the one kidnaped by Palestinan militants. The immediate and harsh response was to be expected and now with this new development it seems that the news from the war in Iraq has been overlapped or dismissed for now huh.

Well with all this going on in the mideast expect oil prices to increase in the US and maybe they'll increase the terror alert too? Death of civilians in the conflict will definitely go up.
