As Israel pounds Lebanon with air raids and ground troops, destroying both Muslim and Christian areas that had been seperated before the Israeli invasion to destroy Hezbollah ... the people of Lebanon are now putting a side their religous differences and finding unity.
Christians and Muslims in Lebanon are finding common ground: safe spots between the explosions ... where together, they realize they have survived, while many others like them are dying.
Is there a Maricle in these chance meetings? Could this unity between religions become like the Pheonix who rises out of the ashes of such destruction that could last for many generations?
... and if these people can put their diversities a side because they find their individual existance threatened by bombs with no religious preferances, why can't the rest of us who are not so strained, get along without prejudice ... just because?
