The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The possibility of a fresh war in the ME, involving multiple nations?

I don’t Know enough about that area or situation to know whether that is a real possibility or not. But from a “big picture” outside view, what is the strategic aspect to this and the fighting between the two? Not oil, right? Not shipping or water rights? Is it Because a lot of people from the US live there?
Again, I don’t know much about the situation, but from the 10,000 m view, it seems to generate more news than it should.
(I should add that I am not minimizing what is happening to the people there. Just trying to understand why it is so important)

Gosh, I don't know.
On a personal level maybe it's because one of our own and probably many friends of ours are getting rockets randomly lobbed at them.
On a humanitarian level it's because innocent civilians are being killed because the rabid dogs of Hamas and the like care more about their power and their grudges than their people.
On a national level we are a staunch (I hope) ally of Israel and are obligated to come to their defense if necessary.
On a global level it has the potential to deteriorate into a more major conflict in the Middle East with ramifications lasting years if not decades.

Thanks. That makes sense. I am not very familiar with that area and the conflicts that are going on there.
Just seems that there are so many going on around the world, from conflicts in Africa, to Myanmar, The Middle East, to former Soviet union, Taiwan/China etc.

All kewl.
Been quiet in my neck of the woods for a while.
