I can't settle for 1701 just because it stops the shelling
I can't settle for half measures after a lifetime at war
I can't be asked to survive anymore, I want to live
I can't accept Lebanese people who do not stand in utter solidarity against Israeli crimes in Lebanon - Through that I can sort of understand why Lebanese blood is considered "cheap" when it's "cheap" to certain Lebanese people themselves
I can't understand how the Association for Civil Rights in Israel condemned some of Dan Halutz's acts in Lebanon, while some Lebanese sort of try to justify them (http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGMDE180072006) (part 2 Deliberate destruction or collateral damage)
I can't understand how throughout the war whoever mentions Syrian occupation is a Sionist and now whoever revolts against Israeli attacks is Syrian
I can't understand how we haven't managed to grasp that whoever so much as throws a stone at our country could not be an ally
I can't understand how some parents insist on transmitting the past war hatreds to their offsprings
I can't understand how still nowadays, when a political leader says it's bad, his followers echo it's baaaaaad
I can't understand fanaticism
I can't bear to see other countries settling their accounts at our expense
I can't stop all those revolting thoughts from eating me up
I can't just idly stand by
I can't bring myself to leave this country
So much I can't do eih? :(
Oh and one more can't
I can't lose the faith and hope that somehow we'll come through, that our dawn will break and the sun will shine for all Lebanese.

Please don't lose that faith. Guard it in a secret place.
Salut Claudine,
Je me suis permis de te citer dans ma scrolling marquee... hope it is not a prb...
Cheers
Ostfen thks for the support, I admit there are times where there seems to be no safe spot for faith, where it seems so easy to lose it... u take care, and stay safe from the whims of nature :), hope they won't affect the courageous flight of the carrier pigeons :).
Camille merci pour ma place sur ton scrolling marquee :)). Safe trip to u and be sure to post :).
C "the impossibility of ending" that is one impossibility I'd like to support, though I usually am against the concept of the "impossible". Thk u for the heartfelt words :). Thk u for that ending ray of hope :), reading it kind of ... well gives hope right back :)
