My house was burned to the ground by the<BR>> ><BR>>Druze in 1981; my house was then leveled to the ground by the
Israeli<BR>><BR>> > invasion in 1982 in the mountains. My house again destroyed in<BR>>Beirut<BR>> > and my mother badly injured from Syrian shelling in 1989. And<BR>>some<BR>> > more destruction was piled on my house and family from the<BR>>Lebanese<BR>> > Forces with their war with GMA. Despite all that, I love<BR>>Lebanon, I<BR>> > love the people, and I believe in a united Lebanon with<BR>>Christians<BR>> > and Muslims living together as one people. I truly<BR>>believe in that<BR>> > vision. I don?t believe us as Lebanese have united<BR>>enough to disarm<BR>> > Hezbollah.
