Google has come up with a special google doodle for Lebanon’s independence day.

Google seems to be prouder of our independence day than some Lebanon. For the record, I stand by what I said last year – although I’d tone down hope and optimism of it which make me laugh today. But for all matters and purposes, I do feel proud on independence day because our fragmented, broken, torn up, demented, crazy and problematic country exists. Against all odds.

So happy independence day to those of you who care. For those mourning the French passport, you can go live 5 years in France and get it.
