I will be traveling this evening to Washington DC to attend a conference. The next post on this blog will hopefully be on Saturday.
Some things on my mind:
- I would like to thank the Center For Strategic And International Studies for inviting me to the conference. I really appreciate it.
- The conference aims to “develop a shared international agenda for protecting civilians from terrorist violence.” So in the spirit of sharing, if any of you has ideas on the subject, you’re more than welcome to contribute in the comments section. Your ideas could be discussed in the workshop
- If any of you lives in the DC Area (according to my stats, there’s around 40 of you), It would be nice to meet up. Just send me an email and we can arrange something.
- In case you read this blog and like it, why don’t you subscribe to my RSS feed so that you can be noticed whenever a new post is online? If you don’t know how this works, don’t hesitate to ask in the comments section.
Wish me a good trip :)
Hello, my name is Mustapha and I have been blogging about Lebanese society and politics since February 2005. You can also find me on 
hehehe, happy and safe traveling Mustapha… I hear you will be meeting a very dear friend of mine…
Mustapha – Im going to give you the key to peace in the middle east
Its actually quite simple..
1) The Arabs welcome Israel home – and genuinly mean it – they make it a point to invite them to arab leage meetings and such – and treat them as real family
after this happens…
2) Israel, seeing that she has finally been accepted home, welcomes the palestinains to come home and join her in building the “New Jerusalem”. The New Jerusalem will be the center of the world, and she will morph into a country rather than a city (rememeber – she has always been a city – not a country)
after this happens…
3) Jerusalem will be the “washington” of a new middle east that will morph from an “arab league” into a “Union of Abrahamic States” stretching from algeria to china
Terrorism ??
Terorism has always been a byproduct of a lack of imagination in problem solving
Thats great Mustapha! Best of luck and let us know how it goes.
think im kidding (anyone)? – watch the video ;-)

lol, you couldn’t resist reminding us all about RSS again could you?
Speak up on behalf of the people of Lebanon, not any political ideology. But I guess you already know that.
Best of luck & safe trip
I wish you gave me more time to arrange to meet you! I am invting the cousins on Saturday and I will be going to Denver on Monday! Next time! By the way, I live in Philadelphia which is ~ 3 hours drive. If you are in the neighborhood, just give me a week notice! Have a nice trip.
have a save trip.

All the best Mostafa. I was invited to the conference as well but I couldn’t make it. I hope you get some free time to roam in the DC area as it has some nice places.
mabrook mus!
Enjoy the trip Mustapha, and tell us all about it when you get back! Speak your mind and tell people what Lebanon needs, not what they want to hear. If you can find the time, go down to the National Mall and visit some of the museums–it’s free and there are great displays from all over the world.
Meh, now I’m homesick…
have a safe trip, mustapha :)
Let it rip, Mustapha!
Have a good and productive trip Mustapha! If you ever cross North of the border, let me now.
