At Least 28 Shot Dead as More Than 1 Million Flood Syria Streets

Soraya. this is a direct quote from the article ..."More than one million Syrians turned out in just two cities -- Hama and Deir Ezzor -- "
wikipeadia, it has Hama at 325,000 in 2005 and 650,000 metro (which is 50km radius. Either way, a few hundred thousand would sound a lot more credible and still a huge turnout.

Report: Syria Increases Arms Supply Rate to Hizbullah Providing it with Scud D Missiles

Ground to ground missiles are more vengeful or deterrent type weapons... SAMs are purly defensive. Why would a purly defensive weapon be dangerous? If they don't fly over our country they will not be shot down. Also, it is not hezbollah that can purchase such weapons but the LAF. Such a purchase is well worth it! What ever happened to the mig29s or the attack helicopters that hariri and murr indicated, right befor the election, that Lebanon was to receive?

Danny b and Youseph, why do you insist on lecturing us on defence of Lebanon? You are from Israel. We do not lecture you on how to defend yourself. Ex-Lebanese? Have you ever been described as ex-Jewish if you were every outside Israel? Lebanon and especially the south has been destroyed and attacked constantly for decades due to Israel and the Palestinians. They yern for strength to defend and keep them safe. Israeli should understand that more than most.
Never forget that one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. The idf was born from terrorist groups, like haganah, stern gang and irgun. members of the Haganah included Yitzhak Rabin, Ariel Sharon, Rehavam Zeevi, Dov Hoz, Moshe Dayan. Irgun became the Likud party. They were responsible for the most terrorist attacks including the king David hotel bombing. Former Lehi (stern gang) leader Yitzhak Shamir became Prime Minister of Israel in 1983. So please stop lecturing us about Hezbollah, and our defence options.

Report: Two Syrian Officials to Be Named in Hariri Murder Probe

Loveitorleaveit. Not that simple. The STL is not like western justice for their citizens. The prosecution can withhold evidence from the defense, and it would still be admitted by the judges as long as they give the defense a "summary of the main points". Witness can be called to give evidence without knowing their name and without the defense being granted the possibility to interrogate them. Imagine any accusation, Rumour or innuendo is presented as fact.  Imagine if u are accused and that your defense couldn't investigate the past of the plaintiff. You have the right to face your accuser. This is not what we know in the west as justice. I want justice, and for all, including the murder of francios el hajj, tuieni and sheik pierre...but this court needs to make some changes to it's procedure rules to be taken seriously. you talk about leaving to Iran? Why do you not talk about Saudi Arabia aswell

Report: Two Syrian Officials to Be Named in Hariri Murder Probe

People power. This is not a lie. If evidence is given n court and witnesses give testimony and the defence is not capable of refuting, questioning the evidence and testimony than this the essentially good as fact. It is Undisputed testimony and evidence!!

If the truth and justice is really what is wanted then m14 should help address these concerns and help the STLs creditability. but I suspect from the video, your main concern is the Muslim cold war between Shiite and sunnis, Iran and saudi Arabia and not justice.

This YouTube video is of course very disturbing. But this is not Shiites Vs Sunnis as the comments suggest but this shows mafia gangs running wild, that have ruled Lebanon for the past 35years. Wha I noticed was even after they left, the pharmacist didn't even ring the police. Without a true Lebanese judiciary, no international court will help stop what happened in the video. We need to fix, help and reassert an independent Lebanese judiciary.

Syrian Army Storms Zabadani, Homs, Readies to Enter al-Bukamal

Ben. Your welcome to come anytime to Lebanon. However u should remember that the idf is made up of "terrorists". Haghana, made up most of the idf, and leaders like ariel Sharon, yitzach Rabin, moshe Dayan, dov hov. Then their was the Irgun terrorist group who became the Likud party and committed terrorist attacks like king David hotel and many massacres. The list goes on. 1 mans terrorist is anothers freedom fighter. It is not poor Israel that wants peace and evil Hezbollah, Syria and Iran who only want war. This is very naive or purposely misleading. There is a war game being played with Lebanon as one of the playgrounds or chess boards as usual. On one side you have, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the USA, and the other is Syria and Iran. This is always Lebanon's fate and will probably always will be. Pan Arabism is a farce. Lebanese have nothing in commen with the gulf Arabs or morocco except using the same alphabet.

What a country

Aoun: Doesn’t Matter Who Heads General Security as Long as his Performance is Good

What a childish and spite full bunch we all are. General Aoun is now the parliamentary majority leader, What do you expect him to say? Whine and winge about how he didn't get his way with the general security post? You can't win every single issue, particularly when we have a democracy like Lebanons that has many different parties in each coalition. Of course he would have prefered a maronite but if not, "As long as they do a good job" is very true answer.he has given back huge power to the christains ability to govern. He is the first majority leader and has the most minister since the end of the civil war. There are many post still to come. He has taken responsibility about the lassa incident and this is in his electorate. The most important thing is hard work, transparency and competence of this government... Something that has not existed, especially the "hard work" of our previous PM who spent more time on holiday and at home in ksa then he spent in The country he was "governing"

"Lebanon is more than a country. It is a message of freedom and an example of pluralism for East and West,” blessed John Paul II. There is a reason this was spoken by our blessed pope. Lebanon is more than a country... Let's not allow it be only a chess board or playground of the Muslim cold war.
