Reality Check: "How's your family under the bombs?"

With all the madness we tend to forget that most of the people out there are sane and intelligent, and only want a happy life for their children.

I'm taking a conflict resolution class right now, and this is what is called (as I am learning..) the spoilers: those willing to make things go nuts to fulfill a limited interest (more political power for some people in Lebanon? a stronger image for somebody in Israel as a man of war?) and those can spoil the whole conflict resolution thing for the mass, which is often the one hit the hardest.

The reality check for me is when I email/talk to my lebanese, palestinian and israeli friends. To those, Reem, Samar, Esti, Joseph, Noga, all, I pray for the safety of your families as if they were my family. Because i know that I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. On either side of the border.

Damn armed people!! What will it take for the madness to stop?
