"Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox,
whose philosopher is a juggler,
and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking
Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting,
and farewells him with hooting,
only to welcome another with trumpeting again. "
How many times did the martyr hariri, jumblatt, berri, Boutros Harb etc travel to Anjar? General Michael Sleiman on army day in 2001 praising our Syrian brothers!
But that was over 10 years ago.... Too long for Lebanese public memories
Phoenix, who killed sheik Peirre? Can we all remember how the m14 treated the FPM in the 2005 elections especially in baabda? Can we remember that the kataeb and LF allied with hezbollah, amal, mustaqbul and the Psp against the fpm and Aslarn?
Can we remember when sheik Pierre was killed, they attacked FPM offices all over Lebanon and burnt FPM and Aoun banners? When Aoun proposed a neutral candidate to avoid a by election, president Gemayel in his grief accused the FPM of the assisination of his son? What ended up happening? The FPM won with a no body candatite against president Amin himself! And it was sheik sami that was left to be the voice of reason!
We forget allot us Lebanese. Emotion, sectarianism and tribalism affects our memories. The Americans call it the fog of war.
Yes it's all about the oil and gas! The FPM and Bassil are scandalous to want international companies to explore and extract the oil and gas within Lebanese waters! This oil and gas has been known to exists for decades. The FPM have for decades before they existed wanted to steal the oil and gas profits? Why is it so shameful and corrupt to openly encourage an international open auction on the rights to extract this natural resource? Why do the other parties refuse to cooperate? Out of spite?
Rotation of portfolios and ministries is fine. But is it only the rotation of FPM and Christian portfolios they have worked hard on developing wrestling off the traditional Syrian occupation era parties? Will the foreign ministry owned by Amal be rotated? Will the economy and finance ministries owned by the Sunni sect (mustaqbul)for the last 23 years be rotated as well? Will the ministry for the displaced and infrustrucure ministry owned by the psp, also be up for rotation?
His holiness the pope, has proved to be very open and compassionate... He even met with the atheist, communist, adulterer from france, that has 3 children to 3 lovers he has never married and is currently cheating on his "first lady" that he refused to marry after cheating on his other mother of his children with her.
I'm sure the Pope will accept his advise and maybe some of his Saudi and Qatari change!
blaming everyone but the terrorists. This site has become an al qaida forum. just as it was america's fault for 911. just as it was the fault of britain for the london bombings. Australia's fault for bali. Spain's fault for the madrid train bombings etc etc. sick and ignorant minds... I feel sorry for you idiots especially Geha, the "christain from keserwan".
voiceofreason... morsi and the brotherhood had control over egypt with billions of dollars of support from qatar. The have no one else to blame except themselves. Morsi tried to legislate himself as above the judiciary and install sharia law. 10 million protesters from every major city in eygpt protested and called for his removal. the brotherhood had many enemies in eygpt especially from the military but morsi walked straight into their trap. intolerance of minorities and secular society is the brotherhood's nail in their coffin
no cedars2, peace and terrorist... Geagea bombed feyadeye, hazmiyi, furn chebek, sin el fiel etc just as Aoun's army bombed LF areas. It was a Christian war. Geagea sided with the syrian army to attack baabda on the final Syrian advance on october 13th 1990. this is fact. Aoun was exiled in france and for 4 years geagea was free until the kaslic church bombing when he was arrested and subsequently jailed for 11 years. he was jailed after he visited damascus to pay his respects to afez el assad following the death of his son bassil in a car accident. it took 4 years before his anti syrian occupation stance was strong enough to have him jailed.
Aoun was stupid enough to fight geagea in the late 80s after taking on the whole of lebanon and the world. he was an idiot and many died for his naive positions.
Enough of the political spin, the people have had enough! the army backed by bkirki and the other religious houses should end this circus with a military coup.
please have the army of the republic of lebanon, end this circus with a military coup that ends the sectarian propaganda from all sides. no more lebanese tv channels except tele libnan. no more al manar, future, otv, mtv, nbn, lbc, new tv etc....
no more sectarian clowns in the illegal parliament. no more fighting over control of the isf and other ministries. the fpm is the perfect scapegoat with son in law Bassil for energy ministry but no one talks about the interior ministry being demanded by the mustaqbul party. enough of these politicians please! military coup for 6 years!
sayyed is a criminal just like all syrian era collaborators are. This means that most of our heroic politicians are criminals that were in high positions. but this guy deserves no sympathy. 4 years in jail while cared for by the U.N., is nothing compared to what he did to those unfortunate souls that dared to question the syrian occupation of lebanon. he showed no mercy and treated them the same as the fanatical and violent Diniyyie terrorists. Tooz ala Jamil Sayyed and the karma he received.
