به نظر من مارشال مک لوهان درست می‌گفت که تلویزیونْ جهان را به دهکدۀ جهانی تبدیل کرده است – اما او نمی‌دانست که دهکدۀ جهانی بیروت خواهد بود.
It strikes me that Marshall McLuhan was right when he said that television has made a global village of the world— but he didn’t know the global village would be Beirut.
