Tomorrow is Valentine's Day in the rest of the world. But for Lebanon, it has come to be known as that fateful day when former Prime Minister Hariri was assassinated in 2005, in a car bomb big enough to kill a small village. Now, the Valentine cards come and go on the 13th, or on the weekend before. I wonder what will happen tomorrow, with two groups of people who stand opposed to each other. Knowing that each side has bombs and weapons hidden under its belt scares me to death (no pun intended). Already, 3 citizens have been murdered in a village consisting mostly of those who stand with the Government. Is this to scare people from convening downtown tomorrow?

And where do I stand in all this? What am I to do? Hope is all we have to hold on to, and that it the best thing, isn't it? Hope breathes of peace, and peace is where life can take form.
