The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The WSJ notes that one party was conspicuously absent from the peace talks: Hezbollah.
It's been one of the saddest features of the Middle East that one of its most beautiful places has been partially occupied by a terrorist army funded by the Iranians and the Lebanese couldn't do anything about it.

wsj.com - Israel lebanon peace talks hezbollah

The possibility of direct talks between the leaders of Israel and Lebanon as announced by President Trump on Thursday would mark a historic step for two neighboring states that have been technically at war for 78 years.

But the talks would leave one of the main belligerents on the sidelines: Hezbollah, the U.S.-designated terrorist group that has been at war with Israel off and on since the 1980s.

Maybe the Lebanese can work with the Israelis to clean those losers out now that their paymasters in Tehran have more pressing needs for what little cash they have left.
