Have you returned to Lebanon in recent times? What are your feelings about the current situation in the country? I have been going to Lebanon on a regular basis and perhaps more often during the civil war. At times my stays were extended due to the sudden eruption of unexpected conflicts, which went on through the length of the civil war, and later wars in 2006 and 2008. I jump at any opportunity to go to Lebanon, regardless of disturbances and troubles such as the ongoing civil war in Syria, which is spilling over to Lebanon and engulfing the entire region. It is a tragic situation causing terrible suffering, destruction and devastation. Lebanon always stands out as a wonderful country with incredible splendor and infinite beauty. www.nabilkanso.com
