Ok so now I have a blog, Mabrouk Claudine
Suddenly am at loss as to what to write
Suddenly my thoughts have gone dry
Where are those revolted thoughts that have been keeping me awake?
I called LBC today, I've been meaning to call them the past few days, I am so revolted at this "July War" thingie, and so as July turns into August the war will change its name? July War? Makes it sound like some sort of a summer camp. Midsummer night's dream, July War ... It is a war on Lebanon by all means. Other parameters don't matter now, what triggered it? Who is to blame? What month it started? None of these will change the fact that it is a war on Lebanon, again ....
Is it our refusal of war? Is it our idiocy? What is it that makes us avoid calling things by their name. Our huge war that lasted two decades and killed over a hundred thousand ... what did we call it? 7awediss ... les évènnements ... weird weird.
News media abroad are so careful with their choice of words, with their very choice of prepositions ... War in Iraq said CNN, War on Iraq said euronews .... but a tiny letter changed yet a world of differences in significance.
I want us to smarten up .. so badly .. to learn from the past .. the very very recent past. Too recent to draw conclusions from? Maybe, why else do we keep repeating the same pattern?
Messed up thoughts tonight, jumping du coq a l'ane, guess am a newbie in the blog world :).
Soon enough ... soon enough ... I got so much to say ... soon enough iza alla rad ...
Plane roars tear the silence of the night ... fear grips the stomach ... soon enough ... iza alla rad
