Your Love and Support Is Needed Here..

My parents are in Lebanon and I'm shitting bricks...literally...(when I'm nervous you'll either find me constantly running to the bathroom...or sleeping...al heroob min el waki3 kind of thing!).....

Did I mention I hate politics?...well...I do!

After endless hours of trying to get a hold of them..I finally get through and they tell me that they're going to try to take the bus from Lebanon to Damascus...and then fly out from there....this is supposed to make me feel better...but then on CNN I get to hear announcements that "this is all Syria's fault"...so is Syria a safe haven or not???..I don't know whether to tell my parents to stay put or go to the next battlefield...again...did I mention I hate politics...ugh!

Two Kuwaitis have been killed in Southern Lebanon...more visits to the bathroom...I'm hooked on watching the news 24 hours....only to be reminded of the many times in my Middle East life that I had to do this...knowing very well that watching more news only makes it harder for one to keep his/her sanity...shit...I hate politics...

Imagine trying to "combat terrorism" these days....are you kidding me? How many terrorists do you think decided to see the light and stop being terrorists when they saw the Israelis bombing southern Lebanon....More realistically...how many new terrorists do you think were born last night after watching the reaction of most politicians who had no harsh words to say to Israel or worse said "that they had a right to defend themselves"...AS IF! "Defend themselves"....when you're a big giant bossing the weaker party around...and decide to show your muscles...you call that "Defending yourself"....God it makes you want to throw up!

HELP! I need somebody to feel with me on this....how long will politics play a role in my daily life when all one wants is to live a peaceful life?

Is there anywhere in the world that is safe? I need an island where nobody gives a shit about whose land is whose, what's your religion, what's your ethnic background, what's your color or any other stupid thing that's caused war in this stupid pathetic world....

Ya Allah...I know that You've seen the worst of this world...
I know that those that call themselves faithful ones have killed innocent men
and I know that there are men preferring to sleep with men than women
I know that there is too much hatred, greed and corruption
and killing and raping and lots of weapons of mass destruction
I know there are too many things that make this world an embarrassing place
Why would one save such humans who have caused their image a total disgrace

Dare I ask that you save us from ourselves?

Please pray with me that my parents come home safe...
