lebanon
i don't usually write about what's going on in the greater world, but i just read an incredibly beautiful (and sad) article on salon.com about lebanon.how lebanon rescued me
i identified with the author's thoughts about leaving the U.S. and it broke my heart to read her eulogy to beirut and how beautiful it had become. i am not an expert on politics but i do know that this war is wrong. 2 israeli soldiers for thousands upon thousands of lebanese civilians? children?
then i found some other blogs from people in beirut. i don't know them, but i want to share their blogs with you:
beirut update
from beirut with love
watching news on CNN drains the lifeblood out of the reality of the situations at hand. these women are real people, like you or me, facing war, facing death, facing something they were not expecting or anticipating. anderson cooper can weep all he wants on CNN but his shoddy journalism can't hold water next to lebanese people speaking out.

I'm moving to Turkey in 3 weeks to teach English. I would love any advice you have... I'm uncertain on what I should stuff in my suitcases!
