White balloons

Six days of talks in Qatar brought Lebanon's politicians to an agreement. People are happy, and a bit amazed. The Hezbollah encampment that had killed downtown commercially and socially for 18 months is being dismantled. White ballooons were released there in celebration. An election, postponed 18 times, may actually be held on Sunday. We are going to wait and see if it really happens before unpacking the evacuation suitcase...
