My thoughts tonight....

My thoughts tonight are with my colleagues, who were supposed to be back in Dubai today, but are instead stuck in Lebanon, with no way out.

My thoughts tonight are with the many friends and colleagues whose families are in Lebanon and who are worried sick about them.

My thoughts tonight are with those who are stocking up on food and supplies, because there seems to be no end to this horrible situation.

My thoughts tonight are with the many families who have lost a loved one in the past few days.

My thoughts tonight are with my friend A., who is worried sick about her parents who are stuck in the Tripoli, and who are going to drive back to Beirut tomorrow to attempt to flee the country.

My thoughts tonight are with my friend A., who had to cancel her wedding which was to take place 3 weeks from now in Beirut. There were 120 people (myself included) flying into Beirut to attend the wedding.

My thoughts tonight are with my aunts and cousins in Haifa, Nazareth and Acre...They are stuck in shelters and they are scared.

My thoughts tonight are with those poor, innocent souls, whose lives ended in vain. Civilians, children, families, grandparents, husbands, wives, sons and daughters....haram......ya haram....

DS - words fail me.

I can't even imagine what it feels for people such as yourself who are experiencing this latest conflict (or any conflict) at deep personal levels.

I read the blogs (especially on toot) with so many bloggers writing about Lebanon, and it's heart breaking and totally futile.

All I can say is that I'm thinking of you - it just doesn't seem to be enough.

I agree, I just don't know what to say. The madness of it all, the stupidity, the futility is just beyond words.
