Guys, <br>
Rabih was joking.<br>
I apologize to him.<br>
I guess with all what is happening and the bad situation our country is going through I have lost my sense of humor!<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/20/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Rabih Zbib</b> <<a href="mailto:rabih@mit.edu">

<span style="font-style: italic;">It amazes me -- I mean, living here in Beirut, as I have for 30 years.
Here are the Lebanese people, sophisticated, educated, cosmopolitan,
people who don't look like the Arab world, they look like us; I mean,
people who could be quite at home on the streets of Paris or New York
and London, and some of them are; people who read, who are very well
educated; people who speak English fluently, French beautifully, and
fluent Arabic, as well, of course; and who, when they die in such large
numbers, the best we can produce is a call for restraint by the State
Department and a claim by the British, our own dear Tony Blair, that
the Israelis are using disproportionate force. </span><br style="font-style: italic;">
