Sad sad situation
The country is in trouble again. We haven't had any peace since Hariri's assasination. There's always gotta be something: The Syrians, the Israelis, or lately ourselves.
Just to recap (very briefly and broadly) for those of you who don't follow Lebanese news. Lebanon is currently divided into two camps: pro-government and anti-government. At this point, the 2 camps are not able to come to any agreement through negotiations. The anti-government group is therefore coming to the streets tomorrow in what promises to be a massive protest.
All I can hope for is that this protest remains calm, civilized, and doesn't end up in any brutality amongst members of the pro-goverment groups.
The problem is that nobody is flinching. Each group is standing their ground and is unwiling to compromise in any way.
I am so sad and terrified at what is happening to our country. We are so bitterly divided at this point and so utterly stubborn, that I am not sure if there is any way out of this situation. We can't afford another civil war.
It is so frustrating to see a country like Lebanon, with so much potential, just autodestructing itself. That is what we are doing. Autodestroying ourselves.
Why can't anybody make concessions, negotiate, come clean?
I am very concerned about my country's future.
