    may god rest his soul in peace. He was a symbol of greatness. I wish i and every one could work on our selves the way he worked on his. we would be in a better world. Maybe thats why god creates such greatness, for us to learn, believe and understand that life is not eternal but our actions are.
    I wish and pray my deepest condolences for all the druze in lebanon.
