That a really good question. I thank you for it, Mohamad. Peace means a great deal of different things to many people. It is a very personal question. I can tell you about the first things that come to my mind when I close my eyes and think of peace. I see no more wars. I see a time when my grandchildren don't have to spend 3 years of their lives in the army. I see equality and respect between peoples and nations. I see my Arab friends come to visit me at home, I see us going to the beach together. I see myself hanging out with my Lebanese friends in Beirut. But most of all, I see myself being able to get in the car with my dad (who is 87 years old) and 2 sons, and drive to Baghdad, Iraq, through Jordan or Syria. In Baghdad he takes us to the house he was born in, and to all the places he told us so many stories about. There, we close a circle.
These dreams might sound trivial to many, but these simple acts have been denied of so many people in the Middle East.
What would I give for REAL peace? Almost everything.

O primeiro-ministro do Japão, Naoto Kan, afirmou neste domingo que o país vive sua pior crise desde o final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, após o forte terremoto e o consequente tsunami que atingiram a nação na última sexta-feira.
Diante do quadro, Kan pediu união aos cidadãos. O primeiro-ministro afirmou que a situação é "preocupante", ao mesmo tempo em que mostrou sua gratidão e "respeito" pela calma com que a população japonesa enfrentou o terremoto --que atingiu 9 graus de magnitude, o pior de que se tem registro no país.
