Grief (http://landandpeople.blogspot.com/2008/05/grief.html)
There are no clean wars and no intelligent deaths, but civil strife certainly takes the prize for dirtiest and dumbest. Anything -anything- is better than civil strife.
I just came back from the funeral wake of my neighbor's son. He was 16 and he and his friend were shot this morning in my street. His family owns a bakery and a cafe in my neighborhood. They are also very involved in the local mosque. He and a bunch of other kids always hang out between the bakery and the cafe. They are Hariri supporters by default, like many other Beirut Sunnis. At around 10:30, when the fighting intensity was beginning to decrease, they went out to have a look. The sniper caught them both.

و كيف بقولوا ما في أبريا عم يروحوا
كيف بقولوا ما في مدنيين عم ينصابوا
هؤلاء لعلهم من المؤيدين للحريري "بالفطرة"
و لكن ليسوا مسلحين ...
ليسوا مقاتلين...
