Iran to? I only thought than Syria and Libanon were involved?

Anyway, all I'm going to say is that we knew this was going to happen. And it didn't start with those Israeli soldiers that got kidnapped.
This is from a long way back and the situation has finally escalated.

So much for diplomacy (and peace).......... <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Now about preparedness: Well, because this conflict is going on for so long, people are probably already used to attacks, bombings, etc.
So maybe some are already prepared. Maybe they stocked food,water, made plans to escape, etc.

If they haven't done that yet, they have to start ASAP, maybe it's already to late....
