But then this — backhanders, corruption, uncontrolled development — is as much a part of the Lebanese way as roasting songbirds and driving backwards at speed the wrong way down the hard shoulder. It’s a beautiful country, blessed by the gods, yet cursed by them too. As I write this, a week after I return, it still doesn’t have a government. But Beirut is back. And the New York Times is right: it should be your number one destination. All things being well. God willing, etc etc. Or as we say, touch wood.
