Hello Mazen. I'm from France and I like your blog.
Hi Mazen
Another great set of drawings. Rebuilding is always the hardest part.
Stay with it.

go to the south and talk to the people. maybe you will wake up from your nightmare and see some strength in people's eyes, and maybe you'll get some.
Hi... I'm from New York, and I love your blog. "A Nice Chat" is one of my favorites. I am so grateful that there are artists like you in the world today.
your painting is a very good.
Today I will pray for you and Lebanon..
préparez vous pour le second round :( !
apparemment il semble que les isaréliens sont frustrés et il faut bien gérer sa propre crise interne - la guerre ça occupe le terrain des esprit aussi. On se demande pourtant ce que fout la France, ou alors on se le demande plus parce qu'en définitive on le sait bien - un esprit impérialiste n'a plus vocation d'entraide "gratuite" !
Pourquoi le peuple libanais n'est pas dans la rue pour crier sont refus de la guerre, pour éxiger le désarmement des militaristes de tout bord et du Hezbollah, que faites vous alors que le bordel va recommencer parce que des empires n'ont pas eu leur victoire stétégique en vue de la continuité de leur plan ! Il est sûrement facile pour moi de dire cela placé à 3000 kms, mais je suis étonné de ne pas voir d'action populaire d'envergure. Les armes sont toujours la victoire de l'echec. J'ai bien peur que les nuits vont de nouveau s'assombrir...
à moins que ce ne soit qu'un autre cauchemar ?
i hope...

ah, mazen, my friend and fellow musician (i cannot draw beautifully as you do), i wish i could promise that the nightmares go away. mine haven't. i finally, have made my peace with them though. i wish you the same small triumph.
Hi Mazen
Michael's suggestion is a good one. Before this shit happened I was thinking about it, but not in a 'holidays in a warzone' way. Perhaps the improv festival would be a good focus, especially as most festivals have a little war zone in them.
best to all
P.
Exactly, Micheal's proposition is the best thing we can do for Lebanon. I am going in december and probably taking some friends with me. Then in spring i will plan a trip with many people i hope. We should push people to visit Lebanon, a lot of them are scared, and if we don't insist tourism is dead in Leb.
