FYI

People are telling me – quite convinced, but not convincingly (yet) – that the Israelis will bomb us in September. I haven’t heard yet when in September, but I am sure that I will be informed shortly on the exact date as well.
I think it is rather nice, to know in advance when you will be bombed. Really takes a load of your shoulders, now doesn’t it?

We also have condemned Moammar Khaddafi to death, or so it seems.
“Judge Samih al-Hajj requested “the death penalty for Libyan President Colonel Moammar Abu Mohammed bin Manyara al-Kaddafi, who was arrested on April 24, 2008 in absentia and remains a fugitive after the kidnap of Imam Moussa al-Sadr, Sheikh Mohammed Yacoub and the journalist Abbas Badr al-Din.” (Source)
I presume this judge is paid with my tax money. It is very reassuring to know that my tax pounds are really well spent. Really well.

Almost Back

And so my absence creates more comments than my presence. Point taken.

I really never had much to say anyway. And I will continue to do so in a while, but right now I’m still acclimatizing. I’m back in Beirut, where not much (major) seems to have happened during my absence. That is always good. You feel terribly cheated out of things if something massively interesting/exciting/earthshaking/important happens during your absence. I’m glad everyone was considerate enough to notice this, and wait for my return. And so, things should start happening anytime soon. I think I will start writing on September 1st again.
