Very good clip Josh. I'd like to add some little notes: Beirut *was* one of the most beautiful cities in the world with its rich historical and cultural heritage, amazing Mediterranean beaches, avenues with palm trees, colorful markets and a vibrant night life. For centuries, Muslims, Jews and Christians had lived there side by side in peace.

There’s no question in my mind that Lebanon can serve as a great example for what is possible in the broader Middle East; that out of the tough times the country has been through will rise a state that shows that it’s possible for people of religious difference to live side-by-side in peace; to show that it’s possible for people to put aside past histories to live together in a way that the people want, which is, therefore, to be peace and hope and opportunity.</P></BLOCKQUOTE>
