Everyone all over the world has been donating amounts of money which seem to be substantial, but when witnessing the damage incurred upon Lebanon, its all peanuts. Saudi Arabia has been trying to help Lebanon in anyway possible; being one of the American allies, Saudi officials attempted peace talks with Israel through the U.S. to implement an immediate cease-fire. But, obviously, they were denied that request. People all over the world have been helping Lebanon in one way or another, be it through letters, demonstrations, donations, blogging (that would be me and many others like me - believe me there are thousands), and much more. Yesterday, my jaw dropped when I heard the news announcing the aid Saudi Arabia sent Lebanon --> 500 million dollars as a GIFT and 1,000,000,000 (9 0's!!!) as a LOAN WITH NO INTEREST! Yeah, I would say that would help a lot in rebuilding the country, that is, if the many corrupt politicians we have decide not to take a couple of millions to buy a yacht or a house in Beverly Hills. But I feel secure knowing that Seniora is in charge now; I look at him and I see a person who loves his country. Our president??? Dont get me started, just throw him a banana to chew on until all this is over and watch him try to take the credit for it. Anyway, I just wanted to say:
THANK YOU SAUDI ARABIA
