You didn't ask for this and you were powerless to stop it. <br><br>I also see there's a lot of anti-American sentiment being expressed by your readers. But which nation is it that's sending its Foreign Minister (Secretary of State) to try to seek a solution? Is it a European nation? Is it a Moslem nation? Russia? China?Historically, there's only been one nation that has consistently stepped forward to help, without obligation, whether in time of strife or natural disaster. If I had to choose between the USA, which tries to do the right thing yet sometimes fails, and other countries who just stand on the sidelines, I know where I'd go.Dickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11753091256945087717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2841003024281818840.post-752002281130384932006-07-26T20:48:55.896-07:002006-07-26T20:48:55.896-07:00i love the piece you posted. one should not burde...i love the piece you posted. one should not burden oneself w/ assessing value judgment of aural documents. it speaks for itself. the truncated mournful cry against the ruptures (and implications of such) of what should be normal life. a truly weepworthy piece, thanks for sharing.<br><br> -aaronnorth guinea hillshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342862151274209406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2841003024281818840.post-54005423491586061442006-07-26T20:54:43.823-07:002006-07-26T20:54:43.823-07:00"The Art of War."

A solution can be found. Im sure Im not the only one. Other people around the world can help you also. I will not insist any more about the subject.<br>Finally, one more comment about being political or not political. The blog is totally political, like this war. Arguments and thinking are fundamental, and the only way in my opinion, in situations like this, to understand what happens, and then to generate solidarity, and concrete response. Other people from Libanon are giving fundamental explanations about what happens there. And it helps a lot.<br>Information is being given in a complete strange and violent way.You are informing the world also with this blog in your way. We are following it throught intimacy, how a person lives it everyday, which is really important. But I think that to say that the blog is not political, and not to allow "political" comments, is a political decision. Any of our comments sound in any case ridiculous and banal considering the situation that you are living there. I can understand the need to creat a space where explicit political thinkings do not take the main place, in your position. But, do you really think that this can be really possible? Maybe what should be taken off from the blog is any manifestation of violence, or agression. But I do not think that real political thinking and information can be bad.<br>Maybe this blog, becomming bigger and bigger, can become a concrete way to offer help to people that need it. To creat solidarity. You can do it outside Libanon. To creat a web throught this.<br>I will not folllow the blog anymore. Its my way to support you leaving Libanon, which I radically think is the best. All these journalists calling you and the " we support you" comments from Disneyworld are only pushing you to risk your life and other people ´s life around you. You can make a fantastic next step work outside Libanon, explaning the world what you saw. The blog will not die if you leave. You have been there for enough time and your explanations will be usefull and creative.The Rome conference was an incredible shame. A demostration of impunity. A "Kill them all" written in front of our faces. 4 United Nations guys have been killed recently . Nothing and nobody is safe there.
