Regarding 'taking sides": I love hummus, shawarma, challah, kafta meshwi..
Edited on Wed Jul-26-06 09:07 PM by Bluebear
....bagels, lox, blintzes, mezze, Shakira, kebabs, Lebanese, lesbians, Zubin Mehta, Yehudi Menuhin, Danny Thomas, Marlo Thomas, Helen Thomas, teens in Haifa, kids in Beirut, and I could not possibly care less about the "three great religions of the world" blowing each other up because of some "sacred" piece of land. There's more land on earth. One of you, call something in the wilds of Wyoming sacred and flock there for all I care. Take it. Please. Just stop blowing people up and let the good people of Israel and Lebanon get a decent night's sleep, OK? Thank you.

3. I love Shakira
But the Colombians also claim her because she was born there and so was her mom. Her dad is Lebanese. But she wears her Lebanese heritage proudly as she shakes her hips.

And I saw her in concert a few years ago before the war in Iraq and she was ragging on Bush.

10. One of my favorite online radio stations is Beirut Nights
and they're still on the air. The format is world dance. It's at http://stations.loudcity.com/49/ for those who are interested.

I'm with you on all of the above, plus my addition.
