Lebanese Bloggers: Unfiltered news from Lebanon
Lebanon's Achile's Heel
Just woke up. The airport's terminal has been hit this time around. The latest hits on Dahyeh led many to flee their homes and seek shelter in other parts of Beirut. More intensified hits in south Lebanon.
I am just angry because the airport is being hit beyond just its runways, which will take more than a week to repair. The airport, has Jihad el-Khazen, the editor of al-Hayat daily noted, is Lebanon's "Achile's heel."
Many Lebanese have so much faith in the international community. My father, whose forever optimistic view of Lebanon is always contagious, keeps on saying that this offensive will not take long and that someone will intervene to stop all this.
But what if, just like 30 years ago, everyone turned their backs on Lebanon? We were left alone to fend for ourselves and ended up killing each other and destroying the innocense and beauty of a land...
Extreme fear mixed with streaks of optimism, but every time I go to sleep thinking that things will calm down, I only wake up to more tragic stories.
