Abstract
The first anniversary of the outbreak of the Second Lebanon War fell on July 12, 2007. Many Lebanese greeted this date with a mood of sadness rather than with joyous shouts of triumph and victory celebrations. Some chose to ignore the anniversary altogether. Indeed, it would seem that most Lebanese would like to strike the war and the events of the subsequent year from the calendar. This mood is a reminder and, indeed, another clear indication of the severe blow Lebanon suffered during the war, from which it is still having trouble recovering.
