Not bad. Lebanese customs are carefully screening the luggage when the merchandise doesn't belong to Shia operatives. That's a start... maybe one day we'll all have the same rights and privileges.

They should have never done that. That money is needed in Lebanon. The poor guy could have got half a million wholesale for you. How do I know? I was his buyer. I guess I have to call Nisrallah again and apologize for our last misunderstanding.
