		<description><![CDATA[As the battle in Tripolie continues between the Lebanese Army and Fateh El Islam and as another explosion occurs, this time in Aley, the Lebanese seem to be ALMOST united once again.  It&#8217;s sad how such matters unite us.
On Facebook, groups have been emerging calling for the support of our army, the love of Lebanon, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was just checking news updates and am wondering how the current episode in Lebanon will end.  AFP just stated that Fateh El Islam has announced that they are responsible for the last 2 bombings in Achrafieh and Verdun.  Last night, one of the news channels stated that Fateh El Islam claimed they are not [...]]]></description>

The Lebanese Army has been fighting Fateh El Islam in Tripoli the past couple of days.  Latest I heard, 57 have been killed so far. The Lebanese Army has been doing a great job.  Great respect goes out to them and my prayers to those soldiers who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My brother Mark has a post including links of a homemade video during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and I watched them.  The videos which only briefly shows how a family were living during the war until Kuwait was liberated reminded me that Kuwait was almost deleted from the map.  It&#8217;s difficult to grasp since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read on Naharnet that 60% of teenagers in Lebanon are smokers. 80% of teenagers in Lebanon smoke narguileh/shisha/arguileh.
That is an alarming figure.  How can this be taken care of? By not allowing smoking in public places? I don&#8217;t think so.
Most parents tend to allow their children to smoke narguileh rather than cigarettes therefore, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has become so easy for me to emotionally detach myself from people and things around me.  A tough lesson I learnt from life.
I have also learnt how to take things as they come.
A shrink once told me its because I live in denial.  If denial is my self-protection, then so be it.
At the moment, [...]]]></description>
