Jumping To Conclusions

Breaking news: from Gaza:

Israeli helicopters fired missiles at Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin's car as it left his house for a mosque at daybreak Monday, residents said, and mosque loudspeakers said he was killed.

Good news, if true. And it shows how humane Israel is; it could have killed this guy at any time, but waited until it could get him without killing many innocent bystanders.

In announcing Yassin's death, Hamas said, "(Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon has opened the gates of hell and nothing will stop us from cutting off his head."

For people who claim to welcome martyrdom, they sure get annoyed when people actually give them what they want.
