Reply #14: That's nice....and let me tell you, if you were living in Beirut, a bomb [View All]

would hit your house while you were doing that love-recognizing. Your family would eventually get a cable from the State Department.

In Lebanon, anyone who could head for the Syrian border has done so. They're piled up, begging to get across, and onward to airports if they are from other nations. Paying robber's prices for tickets to anywhere, Ankara, Istanbul, any-fucking-where.

Those that cannot escape the nation have run to grampa's country farm and are sleeping in a vegetable dugout, hoping like hell they have an apartment to go home to when this all ends.

Love in hearts is all well and good, but when an Israeli jet is strafing your damn neighborhood because some Hizb'Allah asshole lives down the street, you find that your heart holds not much more than a pile of fear and a heap of anger.

We are the world is nice, but we aren't the world. For the most part, we are a bunch of mean assholes.

Would that it were different, but it ain't.
