Its true what you say Dalal, I’m not a kid but yet I still buy Lebanese souvenirs and bracelets and flags etc. Its just me, I guess I’m TOO proud to be Lebanese, and that doesn’t bother me at all… I haven’t seen happiness in Britain like I have in Lebanon. God protect Lebanon, I’m really scared Israel bombards us again this year. Hope not.

Amazing how you feel more Lebanese than Brit.. am sure it’s the blood roots you cant take out of one’s body… my children are the same born here but feel a lot for their lebanese origin.. hehe they buy lebanese flag accessories and keyrings although they’re very proud to be Australian as well..they have dual citizenships. The love for the land never dies… may god make every land safe for all children around the world…amen

Dalal, the tear is in my eye when you say “how much i miss you”.. and dont we all!? i was born in london and have been living here all my life, but visit Lebanon every year, and despite that i still feel like a stranger in england, I HATE IT HERE!! Nchallah, with the help of God and ofcourse the common sense of our politicians, soon we will return to Lebanon for good. Lets just all be opptimmistic and hope what we see today will continue for tomorrow.

Dalal, Lebanon has payed a hevay price, but deserves to be seen in this way. Truly we do hold one flag and have our one president, but its ”healthy” and ”natural” for a democratic country to have openness in this way, and have the freedom to choose who to support in politics etc. isn’t that right? However I must say, not in a manner of violence ofcourse.

Democracy is earned and Lebanon has paid a heavy price with blood.
the real celebration is when wave the picture of one leader and one flag for all.

Since the Cedar Revolution in 2005, it obviously did seem transparent that Lebanon was the only democratic country in the region. Unlike our neighbours’, with all respect, they need a long way to go with democracy, but they may be better than other countries (Iran) which is just ridiculous. Proud of Lebanon
