One thing that still bugs me is the continuing use of the words "crude" and "homemade" to describe the Arab rockets. It only serves to downplay the seriousness of the situation - "crude" and "homemade" rockets sound like what Cub Scouts build for fun at summer camp. Or, like I said before, "homemade" describes the type of cookies your mom bakes.
