I had occasion to visit Beirut before it was bombed the first time,
while it was still a beautiful city.

You won't believe this, but that sentence damn near brought tears to my
eyes. I visited Beirut way back in the 60's, compliments of a sweet, then
young, thing who I met traveling around that part of the world when it,
the
world, was a much kinder, gentler place.

That park$#

To finish the sentence ... that park in central Beirut was one of the most
beautiful, peaceful spots on the face of the earth.

You know, it just reinforces "age based perspective" on how much things have
changed in the sorry ass world today.
