It seems a bit weird to be saying “congratulations” to anybody in the aftermath of Beiruit, but I have several real-life Jamaican friends, so this one is high on my radar. I’d like to wish any Jamaican readers a somewhat muted Happy Independence Day.
Jamaica gained independent from the UK on 6 August 1962.
I am not at all a flag-waver, and it seems fundamental to me that we should all be allowed to choose our destiny, so far as possible, and not have it determined for us.
I think it’s okay to say Happy Independence Day despite other world troubles 🙂

Our idiotic president immediately went on TV and called what happened in Beirut an “attack” without any substantiation other than “some people are saying.” WTF?

Anything is good, if it causes some follower to see the light.
