Norway Condemns You-know-who

I didn't know that the Trondheim Hammer Dance left them any time for politics:
"I am deeply worried over the developments we're now seeing in the Middle East," said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre in a statement released Thursday afternoon. "We must avoid a situation that will turn into an international crisis."

Støre said the Norwegian government condemned both the militant group Hezbollah's abduction of two Israeli soldiers on Wednesday and the Israeli reaction to it.

"We also condemn the Israeli attacks against Lebanon, including the bombing of the airport in Beirut and the naval blockade of Lebanese waters," Støre said. "This is completely unacceptable, and amounts to a dangerous escalation of the situation."
In the meantime some Lebanese seem to realize that a Hizbullectomy might be good for them. (Hat Tip: Lucianne)
