Apparently I am not alone on this one. I sincerely feel for the people of Lebanon, I just wish that they could expell the terrorist from their country and their government or they will never have rest.<BR/>P.S. I finally watched Farencrap 9/11, what a crock of crap!<BR/>P.P.S.

Been there and did that (Cliche). I also know that hate is a very strong word to attach to your feelings. Hate does not improve anything it only destroys. you can see the results of hate around you especially in Lebanon. There are ways you can channel your strong feelings ( vote the guy out of power is one if you diagree with his policies.) Hate should not be one of them. Lots of people here in the US and overseas are very much interested in your progress toward excellence. Most of all me.<BR/>Look for answers inside your heart and mind they are there waiting for you to exploit. the medium is film. The message is what your film is about. Save your energies for what you do best and that is films. Speak your mind, heart and feelings through your films. <BR/>Know this Amin you are loved.<BR/>Uncle JackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15404414.post-1155921189153283262006-08-18T10:13:00.000-07:002006-08-18T10:13:00.000-07:00I've recently come across some of the "short" movi...I've recently come across some of the "short" movie clips that you'd made. And while i was brousing more about your work, i came across this website! Don't u wish more arabs stated their minds? it might not be a cure to the ignorance of our people "US residence" but will at least open their minds to new possibilities. Arabs are always viewed as terrorists, and the people of Ireal as those who retaliate. A smart choice of words, makes us sympathize with Israel... but we the very few of us that are educated.. we know the truth. I second your opinion, we have to vote for a president with a HEART, and not one that is completely controlled by "The" major foreign political power.. being Isreal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15404414.post-1154090222671677072006-07-28T05:37:00.000-07:002006-07-28T05:37:00.000-07:00Oh lil yousef,Min 3enaya..;)Oh lil yousef,Min 3enaya..;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15404414.post-1154089500849720272006-07-28T05:25:00.000-07:002006-07-28T05:25:00.000-07:00?..?..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15404414.post-1154089447076652772006-07-28T05:24:00.000-07:002006-07-28T05:24:00.000-07:00War is best undourstood by humans when it's funny....War is best undourstood by humans when it's funny...after feelings of shame, bitterness, sadness and frustration,it's hard to actually stop and think, that is the problem today.People have become so used to these every day war crimes that it wont effect their thinking.

This is may be a shock, but most of the US doesn't agree with you. While you want some way for america to voice its opinion quickly, I don't think you'd like the result.<BR/><BR/>In addition, the people who disagree with you think their reasons are pretty good, and since you're not a mind reader - no one is - you can't know what those reasons are unless you ask and listen.<BR/><BR/>I hope things are well with you,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
