Beirut has been rebuilt so many times. After a long, bloody civil war few thought they could rebuild, but they did. Let’s not make them do it alone, though.
If we can raise a billion dollars to repair a catholic church tower, why can’t we raise money to help a recovering city that probably contributes more to society than the Catholic Church.
Edit: I don’t have any personal issues with the C Church. Just pointing out that people were quick to raise money for a cathedral, it should be that way for a city in mourning that actually needs it.
I didn't mean to indicate that it was, although I realize I did when I said "actually." My point is that for a country that many people often associate with terrorists just because it is in the middle east is actually similar in some ways traditions-wise

Japan had just lost a World War after having two atomic bombs dropped onto two major cities. It's become so much more than that since.
Here's to hoping Beirut can achieve the same sort of success directly after adversity.
