just me..
so no links this time.. no articles to attach to this message.. this time it's just me.. and my thoughts.. so here are a list of questions on my mind right now:
1. this whole security council deal.. i mean.. how can it ever work if the five permanent members have to agree on something for it to pass.. the us will always ally itself with israel.. so how will that ever work in this situation??
2. does israel really believe what it says?
3. do the israeli people really think that the lebanese civilian population deserves this and more (according to a recent poll on cnn, 91% of israelis think that the israelis need to be MORE aggressive)
4. how will this end.. and when.. and more importantly.. after this 48-hour cessation of violence goes by.. then what.. do they make up for lost time??
5. why does no one listen to kofi annan.. wasn't he placed in this position for a reason??
6. how can the international community ALL condemn this but not be able to do anything only because the US doesn't agree.. doesn't "majority rule" apply here??
7. i have an appointment at the US embassy this friday.. how is that going to go.. a Lebanese passport always raised eyebrows.. but now.. yeah.. i'm concerned..
8. is pinky going to get back to normal one of these days? she's been in a funk for a few weeks now.. (i'm not even going to link to her blog since she hasn't written in a billion years.. yeah.. THAT long.. i'm not exxagerating!)
9. that screenplay the roomie and i were going to start working on.. about a Lebanese family moving to Australia during the civil war.. how much more relevant is the issue of displaced Lebanese now??
10. in a few weeks, i'll be having a talk with southern comfort.. what's he going to say? what am i going to say? what do i want to hear.. actually.. no, i know what i want to hear.. and you know.. as much as i am preparing myself to hear whatever i may hear.. the real deal is once the words are said.. then what?
11. how can i fix a friendship that seems to be beyond repair? i have done all i can.. or i think i have at least.. so the ball is in his court.. and how can i be patient?
12. what if things at the US embassy don't go well on friday.. yes, i have my approval.. but it seems that they have a say in things as well.. weird, no??
13. how can i help my peeps in Lebanon by sitting here in mexico city and then hopefully in a few weeks, in la?
that's my brain right now.. all jumbled up.. but this is my blog afterall.. so my words do need to come out once in awhile.. i feel like it's been forever since i really wrote.. 19 days.. that's how long this has been going on.. 19 days too long..
