Just a little of what is going on:

Lebanon stares at civil war
Gulf News Report
Published: May 09, 2008, 00:44


Dubai Lebanon inched towards civil war last night as violent clashes erupted shortly after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah warned a Lebanese government crackdown on the group was tantamount to a "declaration of war".

For the first time in its history, Hezbollah was ready to use its weapons internally to protect "our existence and dignity," Nasrallah said at a rare press conference via video link on Thursday.

A security official told media that clashes raged in several mixed neighbourhoods in Beirut, with masked men using rocket-propelled grenades, assault rifles and machine guns.

The violence began Wednesday when a general strike over mounting prices and wage demands quickly turned violent. "The [government] decisions are tantamount to a declaration of war and the start of a war ... on behalf of the United States and Israel," Nasrallah said.

I was just reading about this. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who are going through Lebanon and have spouses/fiances living there.

we pray for peace in LEBENON inshaAllah

and they still are not a terrorist organization?

Please pay that one of our JV's is safe there. Her and her daughter went to Lebanon to spend 3 months with her husband and is currently living in the madness. I hope everything is ok with them. Please pay for all of our loved ones there. My fiance is also stuck there.

I will keep Lebanon in my prayers. I was truly hoping it could keep the peace after what happened in 2006. It is such a beautiful country and has so much potential if only the violence and wars could be kept at bay.

They are worst than terrorists! I am praying for peace all over the world and especially in Palestine and Lebanon!

We are praying for everyone in Lebanon! InshaAllah!!

Any word on how our people's friends and family are doing in Lebanon?

Oh sweety you both are definetely in my prayers for sure.

Thank God things have calmed down!! My husband and his family had to run from their home since there was so much shooting and fights on his street.. they'd been stuck in their home since tuesday.
I called to talk to him, when I heard the rampant shootings my heart cried. The feeling of helplesness came over me.
Now the opposition is drawing back.. and soon the ppl that fled, will be able to return home.. tho there is too much destroyed.
I just pray that calm will remain, but things in the country have definately changed, power is not with the government.. so we have to wait and see how this plays out.

Dear Nita,

I am praying for you and your loved ones as I write. God is able. He knows, He sees, and He cares, even more than we ever could.

May you be forever blessed and reunited ASAP.

I think the only thing in this horrible situation is to pray! Sadly, I do not see things getting better.

Words cannot express how sad i feel for you. I will say special prayers for you and your loved ones. The world is getting worse - its so sad.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE

Ameen.

You have all my prayers!

I pray your family are safe in Lebanon.

My father recently helped couple of lebanese families to apply as refugee status and got interviews successfully. God help and bless everyone.

Thanks everyone...my Habebe had been hiding out in his friends home (but gunfire was coming in threw windows and walls) for 2 days until he was able to go to home. It took him 4 hours to get home because of all the Violence, shooting, gun fire (when in fact it's only a 20 minute walk) When he got to home he was just as bad he witness one of his friend get killed
elhamdulillah he is Safe, he been stuck at home going insane but Thank GOD he is safe!!!

I wish PEACE and REST for LEBANON soon INSHALLAH!!! IT's such a beautiful Country with amazing people, too bad some people don't have much love and respect for their own country or country men& women.

I am praying everyday that every one of our love ones are safe!!!
Nita
