“2 juillet: Le hasard a quelque chose de romanesque voire de tragique. C'est il y a cent ans exactement, en 1920, que l'État libanais a été fondé, et on ne peut que rester rêveur devant l'ironie du sort qui fait advenir la ruine d'un pays à la date même de sa naissance, et au moment même où l'ont s'apprête à en célébrer le centenaire. Jusqu'où remonter sur ces cent années, dans la généalogie du désastre?”
