Tang in the desert part 2

Well Lebanon is in no way in the desert. It´s lush and truly beautiful which only makes the "situation" there even more ironic.

Since I have returned the "situation" has only gotten worse. I picked up the paper yesterday to see front page photos of UN "peacekeepers" all of them from my adopted country frantically dragging a wounded or dead comrade away from out of focus flaming rubble. Yeah "the situation" is mostly "in the south" but considering that the country is, accordng to the CIA fact book, 4/5th the size of Connecticut, that's sort of like saying that it´s over there just past Ikea or Walmart. And considering that a few bombs went off "in the suburbs" of Beirut while I was there I guess the notion of down there "in the south" had moved a pretty close to home.

Mas tarde...
