Thanks for a $50 donation from a long time, steady supporter!
I just emailed him this message:
"All that madness in the Middle East makes me want to
return to Lebanon, but my friend Taxi has disappeared! My friends and
contacts tend to be on the older side, so this is not too unusual.
"In
Lebanon four years ago, I went to the Iranian embassy twice to ask for a
visa, but they would not let me in. Soleimani had just been
assassinated by Trump, our "peace president." Hoping to go to Tehran, I
got in touch with my interpreter and minder, a requirement for Americans
entering the country. There's no chance of an American going there now."
