Beirut on august 16, 2006



this is my first morning in Beirut. am back to my ashrafieh.
got here yesterday afternoon. unpacked til this morning. set up my computer.

———
watching tv. people discussing the dangerous nasrallah speech.
i don't think they'll be a war. i don't think they'll be a hezbollah mutiny.
they r talking of a possibility of recreating a government, and that is bcoz nasrallah talked of a lack of representation in the current government and attacked by saying that the government was weak and incompetent when it comes to spreading in the south and facing israel. he basically blackmailed and cornered the gvt with the victory of the war.
of course, the tayyar ran to the occasion of backing this up.

now what?
reorganize the country? change the constitution? to what?
or opt for a new version of the old lebanon? the muzzled oppressed syria-directed lebanon?


goddamn. i hate this.
i hate it.

welcome back zooz!

as for the situation, that's how it always was, that's how it always be. Lebanon will always be the soft spot influenced by all kinds of powers. syria is just one of them. there is iran, israel, KSA, US, France, and many, many more.

Lebanon actually has the highest number of intelligence nationalities in the world. interesting for such a small country.
