29. Believe it or not, a lot of us are concerned with people being
hurt or killed, regardless of their nationality or religion.

Especially those of us who were born into this situation, or are close to people who live there. One of my best friends was born and raised there. Her father is Lebanese.

Lebanon is trying so hard to form a true democracy, these killings are frightening. There have been several attacks on Christian neighborhoods over the past few months, and of course the assassinations.

Anybody who lived through the Lebanese Civil War wants nothing like this ever to happen again. It was a horror. And it took decades to get the Syrian army to leave. Still, there remain armed groups sympathetic to them, who refuse to disarm, though the UN has requested it, and who could become extremely dangerous.
