And at the moment, I hate everyone. See how much broader my philosophy is than yours? ;)

How are things in Damascus? Are they as weirdly calm as in Aleppo?

yeah, people are watching television or listening to the radio but, on the whole, people seem largely unmoved.

though apparently the lebanese will be begging for syria to come back soon, i've heard... ;)

I'd rather be killed by Israel than be safe with Syria. :\

I mean I do hate Israel as well but this time, they were provoked so can you blame them.

uhhhhh, yes, absolutely you can blame them.

they were provoked, yes, but the response is totally disproportionate and the vast majority of their targets have been civilian infrastructure that have nothing to do with hezbollah.

what more do they need to attack before it is okay to place blame on them?

i'd be more concerned with the imminent civil unrest once israel stops the bombing. this is going to polarize the lebanese population even more, with half calling for hezbollah's demise and the other half supporting hezbollah (largely because the shiite are pretty much ignored by the christian/sunni/druze leadership and have nearly no economic or political power aside from hezbollah). lebanon is still a perfect recipe for civil war and most beirutis are too busy shopping and drinking and trying to forget the past to realize it.

Plus, this time Syria should thank us for all the tourists we gave it.

tourists? syria has been a tourism destination for quite a while, maybe not as big as beirut, but it has held it's own.

I never said it hasn't, but all of our tourists are there now, it's kind of funny.

nah, i researched this before, and syria receives far more tourists than lebanon.

somuchforhope July 13 2006, 22:38:14 UTC
do any lebanese outside of the tourism industry really want all those gulf arabs there, anyway? :P

haha, it won't happen though. syria has washed its hands of lebanon and its arrogant government.
