miriam_eHere is what is happening in Beirut.

It makes me weep.
Who is at fault? We are. We push it under the carpet. We don't look. We let it happen. We think it can't happen here. But it is happening here... slowly, creeping... as we allow our politicians to become more hardened and less responsible, more insanely religious. We have to speak to each other and stop it. Only we can. There is nobody else. If we won't, then we are all doomed.
Lies upon lies are laid down as a dark matting, suffocating, and at times feeling almost impenetrable. It seems hopeless. But that is part of the real enemy. It isn't hopeless. Darkness is shed easily by shining a light. We need to know. We need to undercut the calculated lies and pass on the untold news. We can't let this continue, or it will happen again and again and again. And when it happens here, to us and our children we will only have ourselves to blame.
