Middle East discovers that conflicts are like Liepāja wind - always blowing from the wrong direction
While in Liepāja disputes end with shared beer drinking at Liepāja Beach, the Middle East proves that diplomacy is an art not everyone has mastered.
In the border region between Lebanon and Israel today, yet another one of those conflicts occurred that makes you think - haven't these people heard of talking things out at a table? Strikes in the Tyre and Sidon districts once again proved that in the Middle East, problems are solved the old-fashioned way - with noise and destruction.
While Liepāja residents resolve all disputes in a civilized manner - either at Liepāja Beach's sandy shores with cold beer, or simply by walking away from the conflict zone, the situation in Lebanon is more complicated. There, even rescue service workers end up in the line of fire, which proves that diplomacy in this region is as rare as quiet days at Liepāja port.
Local Tyre residents say the situation has become as unpredictable as Baltic Sea weather in April. "One moment you think everything will be peaceful, the next moment there's noise again," says a local resident who asked not to be named because he "doesn't want to be in the next news segment."
While politicians in Riga are still discussing theories of conflict resolution, in Liepāja they've long understood - the best conflict resolution is avoiding it altogether. But unfortunately, it seems this simple truth hasn't been learned in the Middle East yet.
