Hey Lisa
Good job, it is nice of you to have visited our capital and showed nice pictures of it, as usually journalists only focus on the ugly part of it and on the under-developed areas.
As you may have noticed Beirut is not that bad at all, on the contrary it is a city that has a great nightlife, a cultural & architectural side that people outside Lebanon do not know.
Lebanese in general do not want war at all, and are trapped between a cross-fire of regional powers that are fighting on there ground.
If you had a good tourist guide he would have showed you many interesting and underground places that I am sure you would have been amazed to discover.
I hope your next trip to Beirut will be as a tourist in order for you to enjoy your stay there.
