Wake me up when September ends…

You could almost smell the tension in Lebanon. Everyone is afraid, afraid from the unknown, from the harm yet to be caused.

The swift campaign of arrests was designed to do as much as possible in very little time. The purpose is to take the perpetrators by surprise and prevent them from planning any other destabilizing catastrophe.

P.M. Seniora has just said that a lot would be uncovered today. Meanwhile, the average Beiruti, Traboulsi, Sidewi, kissrweni… are all anxious.

The political leaders have fled until further notice; international heavy-weights like Khafier Solana and Terje Roed Larsen have unexpectedly postponed their scheduled visits to Beirut.

My heart goes out to my family and fellow Lebanese in Lebanon: be strong, stay home.

Lebanon is in pain. Labor pain.
Let’s hope the baby doesn’t turn out to be a monster
