People aren't really moving now. Just by foot. That means the electricity they get from running the generator will be out soon also. My friend went to buy the gas to use for the stove and the man wouldn't sell her any. Another friend waited for an hour and a half the other day to fill her car.
"It's like we're in prison."
My friend who always said she loved Lebanon and would never think of living in another country now wants to leave.
"There's no future here."

Jane, please do your best to assure your friend that there can and hopefully will be a bright future for Lebanon.
It's simply a matter of either disarming Hezbollah
or insuring, by the presense of the Lebanese army together with some international forces, that
Hezbollah will return the captured soldiers and STOP the indiscriminate shelling of Israeli citizens.
Is this so difficult to understand, Jane?
I don't think there needs to be hostility against Jane right now. There is, and will be a future for Lebanon and Lebanese, and some of the conditions Anonymous enumerates likely will be part of it, but it's hardly simple. And it could take a lot longer to achieve a sense of optimism and security that proved so tenuous and that so many of us around the world want to see restored.
It's unfortunate that you consider it "hostile" to raise an issue with which one disagrees. How about simply giving Jane, the Blogger, the opportunity to respond. Okay? C'mon..Unlax..
