Barak: Assad’s Exit to Weaken Hizbullah Dramatically

for once he actually says the truth, taking assad out is part of the plan of weakening hezbollah. pretty cheap and weak of them, they're basically admitting that they can't handle hezbollah's current strength.

too bad for them assad isnt going to fall anytime soon, the armed rebellion has been going all out with no results after over a year, their numbers are thinning out and their motivation is wearing out...

sad thing that this resource will at best cover the humongous debt that hariri left us with when he filled his pockets crazy. but at least if we get rid of it, the country will have a chance to rise again.

that state of perpetual bankruptcy he left us is a terrible curse, maybe even worse than the civil war itself: we can never be sovereign and free when we have such a debt and live on life support.

‘Disgust’ and ‘Negative Distinction’ Major Highlights of 3-Day Parliamentary Session

idiot yourself batriot :) i live here i don't have any privileges & i pay my bills so you're just simply wrong and just proving you have flawed and biased views.

you call it "crap" but you give no facts. you only mention salaries, do you really think it's normal to have people work full time and be paid less than 300$ a month? you can't be serious, or you're a greedy business owner who relies on exploiting poor people's work.

bills did not increase in higher proportions FYI, and imported products (which is the vast majority of everything we consume, from cars to TVs to food products etc etc) are unaffected by local salaries, meaning lower level workers have a little more purchasing power and a bit more decent lives. i'm not for communism or excessive socialism, but we are still veeeeeery far from it and there's a minimum of decency to respect, at least a reasonable minimum should be ensured for the most vulnerable social categories.

habibi you said it increased in "higher proportions" i said no it didnt increase in HIGHER PROPORTIONS.
now you're saying it increased. of course it did, but if you pay (for example) 20% more salaries, and personnel is 40% of your expenses, then your total expenses increase 8%. Say your price rises by 10%. That's a lower proportion than 20% for the salaries. Meaning, to mkae it short, better life conditions for the workers. You can be all greed all the time, you gotta leave some for others some times..

funny you mention industry and agriculture, hariri literally sacrificed them in the face of just tourism and banking (which he never actually had to do anything about, they are traditional strong points)

m14 people do not understand the concept of debate, they are used to kind abdullah telling saadoun what to do and saadoun telling the others what to repeat in chorus.

they are also blind to facts, they only hear their master's voice

yes i do shop peace, i thought you could have guessed that one since most you guys do is guess-working.

as you say yourself, they increased the prices "with no reason" so why blame it on a minimum wage increase? are you asking for government controlled prices???? moreover, were the prices ever stable before? they always increased, and that's one more reason to increase salaries.
you can't just shut the tap on workers, they are people, just like you and i, and they deserve to make a decent living
