The stories from the newspapers are harrowing enough. But when you have a dear friend personally suffering from Beirut’s woes, it is magnified many times. On the other line was my dear friend, Lebanese Baria Alamuddin, an articulate spokesperson for the Arab world on Western television. When the first pictures of Israeli bombing of Beirut came out, I thought of her immediately and texted her to find out just how she was. A busy journalist, she is the foreign editor of the distinguished Al-Hayat which is read by Arabs around the world.
