Beirut are in out thoughts.

Ammonium nitrate. At least it isn't violence. Tragic. So many dead and injured. There was an explosion similar some time ago in Texas. The chemicals are mismanaged.

I am so used to hearing violence come out of that part of the world, it is relief to know that is not the issue here. I guess Lebanon has many problems of modern society as well.

My sincerest concern and sympathy for Beirut and the people. This is a sincere tragedy that can be prevented. 

The USA should respond in concern for the people.
