its not just paris
getting home friday evening
turning on the news
being
immediately shocked
then
worried about friends who are in paris
going to facebook to see if they'd posted
yes they were safe
then
i saw a post my friend steve commented on
last week
last thursday
there was another terror attack
45 innocent people were killed
it happened in beirut
the capital of a country
whose total population
is
less than 25% of paris
its also a turbulent country
maybe
thats why
no one took much notice
no check in page on Facebook
no temporary photo to show solidarity
no constant updates from the media
i am not usually someone
who blogs about anything more serious
than a bad cup of coffee
but this really bugged me
here's what my friend steve posted
"when you think of paris, 13 november
dont forget beirut, 12 november"
