The War in Lebanon: Is Peace Possible?

Instead of going to our normal tut, we got to go to a forum that was being chaired by our lecturer instead. There were two guest speakers, including a guy who grew up in Lebanon, and afterwards people in the audience could have a say too.

The guy from Lebanon was the most interesting speaker, in particular one story he told:
His mother was upset when he called, he could tell something was wrong, and when he pressed for a an explanation, she told him. His sister, one year older than him, was going to bed every night with her ID card in her pocket. Too many unidentified bodies are being pulled from the rubble.

Makes you think.
