[Nettime-nl] Re: Soundtransit.nl presents sounds from Lebanon [signed]

Hi Jo and Jaromil,

Thanks guys! I'm sure Mazen appreciates it as well.

Sara and I just this morning were sitting in our nice, comfortable flat 
in Berlin--a bit hot yes but certainly with a solid roof over our 
heads--reading about bodybags full of children, blood and maggots 
getting a temporary mass burial in south Lebanon. And we were wondering 
the same thing...what _can_ we do? I guess the answer is we do what we can.

keep fighting the good fight,
d.
