today marks the third anniversary of the 2006 july war on lebanon ... i was in beirut when it happened ... it was the summer ... my last semester of university had just barely started ... i remember how i found out about the war ... i was at university ... in the library ... the person next to me was reading about the hezbollah operation ... i quickly opened a news site in my browser and read about it ... i was happy that the operation was successful ... that night the news started coming in about israel bombing the airport and what not ... the next morning classes were canceled indefinitely ... about a month later it was all over and hezbollah was victorious ... university resumed and about a month or two after that i graduated ... i think i was the only international student who didn't leave and i don't regret it ... at least all the ones i know left and came back only after it was all over ... but i was not alone ... i had friends who would come over almost everyday ... good times ...
