		<title>Patriotism At It&#8217;s Best</title>
		<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>

		<title>ISF &#038; LA at their best</title>
		<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>

		<title>Counter-Terrorism and Boooom!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; and the peoples&#8217; nerves are a wreck again!
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>

		<title>Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait</title>
		<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>

		<title>Dusty Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The weather this weekend (and until now) has been horrid.  A major sandstorm has hit Kuwait which makes breathing and living difficult.  I just spent a weekend locked in closed places.  On Thursday I had dinner at Entrecote with friends I haven&#8217;t seen in a couple of months and was home by 10! Last night [...]]]></description>

		<title>Smoking Teens</title>
		<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>

		<title>Emotionally Detached</title>
		<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>

		<title>Energies &#038; Vibes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Negative energies resemble a disease.  If one person around you has a negative energy, you can take it in if you don&#8217;t block it.  Sometimes, you have days were you are just surrounded by negative energies.  You feel like you&#8217;ve digested flies.  The only way to feel better is to block everything around you, focus [...]]]></description>
