In 1985, at the height of the Lebanese Civil War the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) did a TV news report on wartorn Lebanon. The correspondent, Peter George, who did the report was so amazed by the fact that our rock band Force managed to function in the midst of all the fighting and the killing that he included a small segment about us in his report. The band was made up of: Abboud Saadi: Bass, Walid Itayim: Guitar, Nabil al Hishi: Guitar, Emile Boustany: Drums.

  • WTF they're singing about traffic when chaos reigns in their country? I remember when the Lebos started coming here to Australia in the early 80S. Before that i saw Hungarians,Poles,Yugoslavs (apologies for the spelling on Yugoslav,can't remember),Greeks ,Italians,Poms,Maoris,Papauns,­Germans,Afghans,Vietnamese,Chi­nese and alot of the other Islanders and we've all mostly got on ok. Now we have Sudanese and other sub Saharan hell holes,not to mention all the muslim refugees,i worry 4 my country
