Let the world react... in all ways possible, but please, soon!

This is a GREAT reason to leave my silence in this blog... but not with infinite happiness, but in deep anger!

I will write this in english, hoping you all get encouraged to forward this note to the world.

The important part of this topic, is that can be accurate or exagerated... might come from an important Systems Manager in Procter and Gamble in Lebanon, from the same role in Israel, or simply from someone that has nothing left in this world but pain, and limited access to telecommunications technology... what I want you all to understand is that very few get profit from wars... from the pain of many others. And really, no justice will be made. Even if the responsibles for such streak killings are killed, there will be no justice.

I pray the God I have been in deep angry since 6 years ago to avoid these stupid actions to continue. We are given with a limited time to enjoy the land where we live, and the decisions that we take --- and we waste it trying to earn more, and in the dirtiest way possible.

Please take some minutes to read a claim from a Lebanese colleague... get yourself into a pictures tour at the link below if you feel still far from the reality the words have created in my head. No one is right when a war begins...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

All,
I am sorry for having to share with you the following. The images are hard to see for sensitive souls. But my actions are guided by anger, frustration and despair. This is the war that Israel is leading against terror. I know this chain of emails will not have much impact, but if it appeals to the population conscience it will be smalll comforting thought to help us go through this terrific war on Lebanon. I am personally alive, but my parents and my brother, and all my uncles are there in the south, stuck under the bombs. There is no roads they can take to escape, there is no electricity, no water, and no more food. I am not sure I will ever meet them again in my life. I am not sure tomorrow I will here their voices on the phone. Israel has basically destroyed all the roads, all the ports, the airport and is hitting on anything that moves on the roads. No Food, No Water and no medication can reach the cities, the reason being that Isra! el is bombing every car or every van or truck that circulate, independently of the content. They have also bombed our cheep and are burning our cultivated lands.
Unfortunately the UNs have given the green light to Israel to continue to defend itself. For those who do not know it, for the last 5 years, Israel has been violaing the sky in Lebanon, entering our land, and the world was blind, or wanted to stay blind. Every summer, they used to fly over Beirut and tourist would leave Beirut. But of course, for the international community, they were defending themselves.
Today, I have seen pictures of Israeli children writing on the Israeli missiles the following words "dedicated to Lebanese children ". Those images are still burning inside me. I am not expecting anymore justice on earth. In the 21st century, we are still witnessing the worst from human kind. And the world is just busy watching, sometimes, not even aware.
I have learnt also today that some TV channels do not even talk about the massacres in Lebanon, but only about the retaliation on Israelis cities!
I am sorry to have to bother you with what is happening to my country. I don't want you to feel sad or sorry about it. I am just hoping that these pictures reach the rest of the world so that the international community knows. Noone can do much against the will of the most powerfull man in the world. I watch international welll established TV channels, but the facts are just manipulated. Please help me.
Please help me let the world know that this is not a simple chain of events; this is a war. This is a war against my country, my family and my region.
God bless you all,
R...

All the words could never express the sincere feelings that we have against all this love... Maybe the pics could talk better... Please visit the site.

Despite I was not able to watch the site (someone unplugged it) I truly believe that nothing good can come to this world at the stake of others, specially when many human innocent lives are in jeopardy.

This insane man, as Eddie Vedder told us in Madrid a couple of days ago, has an expiry date: November 2008.
