Monshi Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I just saw what's happening in Lebanon right now. Lara are you ok?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 I just saw what's happening in Lebanon right now. Lara are you ok?? Thank you Monshi - it's kind of you to ask. Well, I'm not living in Tripoli - thank God, but I have to say that what's happening today is really worrying. As you probably know, things happen here so quickly that one thing leads to another and there's another war. Hopefully the trouble won't spread throughout Lebanon but things are very unstable here anyway, before what happened today... I think they're trying to keep it from spreading from what they said on the news (you know, it's all to do with the politics here). Anyway, I won't go on and on, but personally, I'm feeling a mixture of worried, sad, and really angry that there are so many people and countries who don't want a peaceful Lebanon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LebAngel Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 My thoughts are going with u ( sorry for my bad english) I've discovered lately what happened in Lebanon...and it's very very sad...unfortunetly, we are used to see those kind of things since 2005...I feel the same way as u even if I'm far away from Lebanon. Lebanese people have always been strong & Hope that the end of the tunnel is very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm praying for you, all the civilians there and for Lebanon as a country. yes, I've witnessed that things tend to happen real quickly there, I followed everything that happen last summer over the telly. Hopefully this is where it ends! once again, I'm thinking about you. I wont forget you in my prayers. *big virtual hug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jassisa Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm just so sad and sick of these civil wars! Can't all the parts just keep their damn thoughts to themselves and tone down the hysterical greed for power?! Does really children have to die because some bigtime idiots don't know how to get along and run this little tiny country??? If bigger countries can do it, why can't they?

I don't understand why politics has to be such a dirty thing. and religion has also changed (no offense to political or religious people). why can't all countries care for their people! give a damn about everything else and just take care of eachother. i'll stop now, or i'll be way off track speaking about world peace and so on...

The world is all about people - and still different countries or different groups in countries hurt eachother. and why? because of power - because of stupid leaders. cause peoples minds have become infected with crazy thoughts (once again sorry if I'm offending anyone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Thank you for your messages since yesterday... Well, there are more than 50 killed and there was a carbomb in Beirut too last night in Achrafieh (Sou, I think you said you had family links to Achrafieh?) The car bomb was in the multi story car park of a big shopping and cinema complex and I think 1 was killed and some injured. I just read on the news that the army have started shelling the refugee camp - now anything could happen... Anyway, I'm not sure what'll hapen - I honestly can't see how they'll come to a solution in Tripoli 'cos no side wants to back down. From what you said about the politics; basically, our 2 neighbours don't want to see Lebanon becoming stronger - it's not in their best interests and so they divide the country and sit back while leading it to ruin - it's bad enough here when there's no fighting; there are no jobs (thanks to Mr Olmert's handiwork last summer), no security that helps you build a good life. Sorry for moaning; although I'm thankful for being safe so far, I'm really fed up with it all too... I hope that soon, there'll be good news to post on our Lebanese thread. Thanks again for your kind messages - they cheered me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monshi Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Oh Lara, I'm thinking about you every second of every minute. I'm happy you're safe and I'm terribly sorry for the carbomb and all the injured people. Let's just pray for them to end this really quickly so that no more innocent people will get hurt. I'm hoping for good news too. Please don't worry about you moaning (you're not). You can write anything you want here, I'm here to listen to you, about everything! hugs ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lara Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi everyone, OMG - did you see the news of the 2nd car bomb tonight? I was going to go into Beirut tonight but decided against it thank god because the bomb was on the route I take. I watched the news crying - I feel a bit stupid but I know you understand that when you see the pictures on tv of the country you feel strongly about, it's just too sad... I mean, I curse the place most days (like everyone who lives here) but there's no way I want to see all of this happening. I dunno, it's just a mess. Cubes, I hope your family here is ok and safe. My Mum and my brother and sister are worried sick and want me to go as soon as possible (as I was planning to go to London so I can get a job there) but I can't leave until I've finished my things here and anyway, why should we be bullied in to leaving? Look at all of us, spread all over the world because of war... and when I left Gaza, I thought I wouldn't cause my family to worry anymore. Sorry for ranting on but I had to say it to someone. I hope you all ok, and thanks for reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sou Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sob7an Allah! You decided against taking the route that was bombed!! Allah satar!!! "why should we be bullied in to leaving? Look at all of us, spread all over the world because of war" The images on tv, the people scrambling in the streets trying to put out the fires, crying, screaming...I felt terrible, and yes, I cried. I hope all of this ends, it HAS to end!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daka Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'm just sending my love to all of you, hoping that nothing wrong will happen again and that you'll all be safe. Greetings from Serbia! D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKateisaKate Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 My hearts are with you all. I feel blessed to be able to talk to people with your courage. Hell, here in the northeast of the US, I've hardly experienced anything scarier in my land than a really bad lightning/thunder storm - not even a hurricane, just remains of some before they hit off the coast. I love you all and you're in my prayers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monshi Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Cubes, I'm glad to hear that your family is safe! Lara, I just heard about the second bomb. Thank God you decided not to go! I hope you're still alright. Stay strong! as for the whole thing about having to leave - I think it's so wrong, but you (and everybody there) are so strong and brave! I really can't understand why this is happening (I'm the kind of person that think that everything happens for a reason). After everything you've been through... Is a little bit of peace and quiet to much to ask for in those parts of the world? I'm praying for you every day, hoping for this to end as soon as possible. May God be with you!

I don't even know whether my Lebanese friends are ok or not... This is so unfair, all I can say is I'm with all of you, Lebanese people. I couldn't agree more with you, LebAngel: it's clear they want to ruin the Summer season again, they won't let Lebanon become a summer resort because that would mean much less bussiness for those we all know... But in the meantime lots of inocents are dieying and suffering in this nonsense. Please, STOP THIS MADNESS!!! Hope all your loved ones over there are fine. All my love to you and them!
