TIME's Blanford: Lebanese Authorities to Hear My Testimony Soon

mrbrain, I'd say you "hit"absolutely nothing :) try again.

With great anticipation I await your treatise.
Cheers :)

Geagea Calls for Cabinet Action, Questions Hizbullah Leadership Role in Hariri Murder

C'mon guys. mrbrain is the third most entertaining poster here. Please don't discourage him. I'm a big fan of his brain flatulence, especially on topics where he demonstrates a depth of understanding of the Lebanese psyche rivaled only by his ability to type ellipses. Keep posting brain. I'm a big fan.

Hussein Oneissi Exposes Govt. Negligence towards STL

It was not for Hariri alone that the STL was formed. It was for Lebanon at the request of the Lebanese, and for all the victims of endless political assassinations.

Should we trust the Lebanese judiciary, Hezbollah, or Syria in finding the killers, instead the STL? No. Hezbollah and Syria are primary suspects and I would trust STL on any day over those who've demonstrated their knack for killing and terrorism. Yes, that is a big difference between us, Le Big.

Report: Al-Sadr’s Body Thrown into Sea

Brilliant speculations about the the reasons behind Sadr's disappearance, Le Big... brilliant. Now, can you utilize this genius of yours to connect the dots between, say, Geagea, or Harriri and global climate change? I'm all ears.

Saniora: Hizbullah Hiding 4 Hariri Murder Suspects

Keep the pressure on Mr. Saniora. Hezbollah and its junior partners are on the defensive and the only way they can counter international justice is by smokescreens and red herrings believable only to idiots who follow them.

Iran: Syria Should Recognize People’s 'Legitimate Demands’

You know it must be pretty bad in Syria when the Iranian regime disingenuously lectures a brutal dictator on human rights!!

This is bizarre and it would be laughable had it not been tragic.

Al-Rahi Meets Sarkozy: Change Must Not Be Hastily Introduced to Arab World

Although Al Rahi's concerns are justified, the answer to these concerns cannot and will not be the hegemony of a small group over a larger population. This old school thinking (stability with thugs and bloody dictators) is going by the wayside with the introduction of the Arab world into the 21st century.

Assad and his regime have no place at the table after this bloody crackdown. Al Rahi would be well advised to pick his future friends carefully.

Al-Rahi Calls for 'Stripping Hizbullah of Excuses' to Bear Arms

"Stripping Hezbollah of excuses" is wishful thinking at best if not pure naivete. Al Rahi is a man of peace trying to maintain the peace at any cost. He is willing to appease the thugs (Assad/Hezbollah) at any cost. Why? because it is easier to appease the thugs with the gun than to stand up to them as Sfeir has. They are hostage takers, unwilling to yield on the central issue of being the only party in Lebanon that is armed, and have used these arms against fellow Lebanese.

I respect Al Rahi but disagree with his position. In my opinion, he's driven by the old school mentality that says: dictators from minority groups protect other minorities. It is short sighted and will not work because the majority population will resent, boil and ultimately win.

Ya Batrak, don't make deals with the devil. Sooner or later, the cowards will be beaten, and you may find you have alienated those who are most willing to live in peace.

STL President Convenes Trial Chamber for First Time

As you gaze at your navel, the whole world will hear the case of how a bunch of criminal thugs, supported by the village idiot and his Clowns, committed murder. This is a very simple concept in modern world democracies, something I suppose is foreign to you being an Iranian/Syrian groupie. Only in a totalitarian/criminal mind is it acceptable to defend yourself by impugning a court... an international court at that.

This is happening like it or not. The consequences will be devastating for all who protect the gofer.
