Juniper Cobra: UPDATE

I just returned from a late night workout. En route to the gym it sounded like World War III near the coastline. The din of constant automatic machine gunfire, helicopters churning through the night sky, and F-16's carrying out their sorties pretty much dominated the walk to the gym.

I don't know what war sounds like, but I imagine that it's something very akin to that. Regardless, it's definitely not something one hears or experiences everyday.

Tomorrow after class, I'll be attending a seminar by an Iranian dissident on democracy in Iran and the Iranian threat to Israel, the region, and the world. The fact that an Iranian is on Israeli soil at an Israeli university pushing for regime change in his own country is a big deal.

I find it interesting that it is coinciding with Juniper Cobra.

In other news, Dustin and I may be going to an Israeli Football game this weekend. And by football, I mean real football. Not that communist sport of soccer masquerading under the nom de guerre of "football."

I hope to have a post up about both events sometime this weekend.
