Bye-Bye Beirut

Well, Beirut is heading back into civil war. I was so happy when the fighting stopped in the the early 90s. Beirut used to be a beautiful city - it was basically the Paris of the Middle East. It's been recovering since the early 90s, and then there were the problems with Syria, the fighting between Hizbollah and Israel, and now this mess. I was hoping to be able to visit there soon, but apparently not.
