Lebanon Update: February 2008
http://lebanon-update.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2008. After the failed talks of Amr Moussa in Lebanon, the threats of certain Arab countries to boycott. The Arab Summit meeting in Damascus and the expectation of Hezbollah retaliating. Against Israel for killing its main operative Imad Mughniyeh, the Lebanese fear the worst. While they might be right, logic would predict otherwise. Joined the club, and foreign investments are plummeting. Tis was followed by demanding that March 14 would not have a 2/3 majority vote in the new go...

نكبات ونكسات ؛حب وخوف ومهانة ؛جهل وفساد وماذا يبقى غير الكلمة؟ Monday, October 17, 2011. حدث ذات يوم أن كبرنا. كبرنا أو صغرنا، لست أدري. لم أتقن يوما لعبة الأرقام وطرح السنين. هل هي حقيقة أو سراب أو ذاكرة خائبة. تغزوك بعد شيب لتمسح عن عينيك غشاوة سنين. تتوالى المشاهد وتسمع ضحكات تأتي من بعيد. تتراءى لنفسك نفسك فتنتفض عليها،. تضحك وتبكي فلا فرق لطالما لم تجف الدموع. لطالما هناك قلب ينبض، لطالما تتوالد الأحاسيس. حدث ذات يوم أن ادركت. وأن العمر كذبة سمجة.
