A Western correspondent in Beirut sent me this message:
"I don't know if my roommates are ok, but the car with the Canadians was in the south, and they should be heading north to the border. I guess its just a matter of time before someone I love is brutally killed here, and this was a rehearsal. My fury no longer manifests itself in calm. I told my brother who sent me enraged e-mails about my decision to stay today, that I would leave if he does something (he is flying to New York tomorrow) to stop this. I want him to understand that I can do close to nothing to effect the situation here, but that being here makes me feel a bit better. And there is no way in hell that i'm getting in a car and driving anywhere.
Please let them stop.
Please make them stop.
My mother is adamant that she prefers I die by any other means than the Zionist war machine."
