Jumblat: Norway Attack Must Act as Lesson to Regimes that Don’t Understand Need for Reform

@hiram-of-tyre: He is not just a Christian. He is a Christian fundamentalist-- the equivalent of Al-Qaeda or Fatah Al Islam. Of course he is not a true Christian and his actions do not have anything to do with religion, but in his view, it was all about making Christianity get back to where it is supposed to be. In his manifesto, he even described himself as a crusader.

The interesting thing about Western media is that they always refer to him as an anti-Islam terrorist, not as a Christian fundamentalist, when he himself describes himself as a Christian fundamentalist. They have to insert the word "Islam" in anything that is related to terrorism. Some has gone as far as justifying his acts as a reaction to Islamic terrorism.

Geagea Says He’d Think Twice before Meeting with Rival Maronite Leaders Again

@MUSTAPHA O. GHALAYINI: I wish Hakim was under the control of Wahabis. He is in fact under the control of the slaves of the Wahabis.

Peres: Iran Creating Unrest in Middle East through Hizbullah and Hamas

Unrest for you is not unrest for everyone else. May all your years be filled with unrest.

Five French UNIFIL Troops Hurt in Sidon Blast

@Youssef Khaddad: Shalom Yoshi. Another proof that you are an Israeli posting from outside Lebanon is your call to the villagers of the South of Lebanon to kick out Hizbullah fighters. Typical Israeli/Western ignorance that led to your defeat in 2006 and will lead to the same in the next war. Ignorance of the fact that in the South (and other areas) Hizbullah is the people and the people is Hizbullah.

Peres Calls on Assad to Step Down

marc: excellent observation. Supports my theory that the USA does not want a substitute for Assad. They just need him to kneel down.

Geagea is hoping to get a "Bon Point" from Conelli for this statement. LOL

March 14 Slams Hizbullah’s ‘Provocation’ of Comparing Hariri Assassination Suspects to Saints

If they are still suspects (i.e. not guilty yet), where is the provocation? Unless of course March 14 knows ahead of time what the outcome of their STL will be.

Geagea: Situation Can Never Turn to Normal under Magical Equation of Army, People, Resistance

What is normal in this pseudo-country called Lebanon? Is it normal that a convicted killer of a Prime Minister (among others) is free and giving lectures in patriotism and good governance almost daily?

Trash journalism at work: speculation, guessing and conclusions based on unspecified sources. But what's new Naharnet?
