We’ve been focused on this year’s elections for the last couple of days, but the rest of the world hasn’t stood still. So we should take note of stories like this one:
Israeli commandos seized a ship Wednesday that defense officials said was carrying hundreds of tons of weapons from Iran bound for Lebanon’s Hezbollah guerrillas — the largest arms shipment Israel has ever commandeered. …
Containers had Iranian shipping codes in English — “IRISL” on one side and “I.R. Iranian Shipping Lines Group” on the other. Some of the hundreds of crates lined up on the dock were open, revealing dark green missiles with English-language designations painted in black. …
Our enemies don’t stop scheming against us when we’re not paying attention to them. Or when we’re negotiating with them, either.
