No flight

The war on Lebanon ended…but the blockade is still on…Nothing and no one goes out of Lebanon without the permission of Israel, and nothing and no one enters to Lebanon without the permission of Israel…

The head of the Lebanese parliament Mr Nabih Berri called for an open sit-in at the house of the parliament in downtown Beirut…All the MPs were present…

But where is the Lebanese population? Shouldn’t we join our MPs in the sit-in? Aren’t we being affected by the blockade? The Lebanese people used to go into deep coma (no-reaction to big events) after dramatic events…but since the 14 of February 2005 (after the assassination of PM Hariri) the Lebanese showed that they are a lively people, they can be a force for change and a pressure force…

Where is that powerful, dynamic population? What am I still doing at home writing this entry? Why aren’t we in downtown, at the airport, at the seaport protesting, demonstrating for the end of the blockade?
