    Please Please Please King Fahad, Mr. Assad, Mr Haririr, Mr. Nasrallah .. I beg you all to make it work for the good of Lebanon.

    The Lebanese have had enough, and the zionists in israel are licking their chops for another Lebanese civil war. What happened with Hariri senior has happened, we can make it 10x worst if you don’t wise up or let emotions get the best of you. Please make it work for the sake of Lebanon. Please give us the chance to be able to teach our kids about their ancestors land without being ashamed.

    HMMMMMMM! I wonder if the Syrian President will be meeting FIRST with President Nasrallah and then with Sayyed Suleiman.
    The last summit in Syria happened between the TRIO presidents, Ahmadinajad for Iran, Assad for Syria, and President Nasrallah for Lebanon.
    Lest not forget that the invitation from Qaddafi to the Arab Summit went to the ambassador of Lebanon in Syria, bypassing the proper protocol not handing it directly to Suleiman.
    Now don’t go on issuing arrest warrants for what I said but read Gibran who said: “If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.”

    R you sound pathetic, Im sure assad has seen enough grovelling and begging from your libonais leaders, why dont you hope for something a little bit more pleasant? such as assad getting snipered while in beirut , that way the syrians finally get the message that they are not welcome in libon?

    The sad thing here is that the majority of people posting on here are totally cool with having syria take back libon just for the sake of artificial peace. Libon will never have peace as long as you have all these foreign countries making decisions and implementing them thru the libonais scum leadership. Yes people, syria is a FOREIGN country and not a “brotherly nation”…..kis icht heyk ikhwee

    “il iid yalli ma fik alaya boussa we diiila bilkasr”.this is the philosophy of the weak in the middle east.
    this is what jumblatt did with the syrians.

    when you have iran and syria the two rogue regional powers interfering openly in lebanon with impunity, fully supporting militarily, politically and stratigically most of the shia along with others like, aoun, frangieh,wahab,arslane, jumblatt….

    when you have the west with the us on top and most of the arab sunni regimes that could not translate on the ground their support to the overwhelming segment of the lebanese population and the cedar’s revolution precisely,nor to the government or its institutions, beyond a mere lip service, or a favorable cnn coverage or a two hour lunch break at the us embassy in awkar.

    when you have all these things considered you should expect such outcome no more no less.

    the lebanese are pragmatic in that sense specially those staying in the country.

    history has taught them time and time again that in order to survive in lebanon you have to always keep in mind khatt el rajaa.

    Maria you’re funny and i totally agree with you. But like V.O.T said these are rogue powers that interferes at will and force their rules on lebanon. So to please the Syrian President here is what you need to do. I heard when i was there that everytime the syrians smell manurs they say “Ummmmmm nice this smells like baladanah”. so at the airport i think we should just have a red carpet but please spread manurs on both sides. He will be nice to us for a change lol. Anyway you all have a good day.

    Tarie, im still laughing…..to be honest how much more manure smell can the airport handle?, I mean the ouzai is right there and that tunnel that if God forbid your car stalls in there, you suffocate to death from the mjarir smell, I think assad will be quite pleased when he arrives at Mjariri Airport

  • tarie al fanarie

    Maria the more smell the merrier for Assad. This way he gets high and we get him to sign several agreements lol. They become immune to the smell in Ouzai and they leave it like that to prevent the israelis from entering the area. Otherwise i can’t believe an organization with almost a billion dollar budget would put up with it? if you can buy scuds and missiles if they claim not getting the weapons for free. Then you can afford to clean the environment there. As far as Assad he’s having honeymoon days since he’s been getting so many high rankings arabs and europeans to visit him. Also getting away with free from killing fields of Lebanon. But his honeymoon days will be over when Iran will force him to engage against israel whether he likes it or not? Syria will be divided in two yrs mark my word.

    LebFirst my attitude and inner self are very clean and they smell very good. If after the Syrians and their allies who have tortured and killed so many lebanese and i find it hard to believe that such idiots like side with them. If you’re one of them then i can see why you support them. Let me tell you something this attitude comes from 30 yrs of oppressions beside the oppressions we get daily from israelis. I got tired of this smell when Hafez al Assad declare Lebanon part of Syria. I was boiling when i heard him saying that on TV. he is dead but his smell still occupies syria and part of lebanon where you live apparently. Forget what the these people have done why? every time we forget they comes back with more killings and they smell even worse. you like their smell then go live with them and stay away from Lebanon for good.

  • sophia

    R? What do you mean what happened has happened w khalas? anw now let’s just forgive and forget anyone who commits any crime for what you may consider the good of Lebanon? Problem is that ever since I remember, nobody has paid for any crime he commited in Lebanon and we all no the reasons. So should matters stay like they are at the present? Should we just surrender to the bullying and threats and that’s it? Should we just leave it be and then years later when they decide to kill another person, we mourn for three days, and the radio stations play classical music — by the way, that’s the only time they do!! — w khalas? Next?

  • jerth

    if someone like a country sooooooooooo much other then the one lives in it should pick up his ass and go live ther i am sure they will welcome you with arms open and no wuestion ask.

Come on guys, we can express our opinions civilly andwithout all this stuff and nonsense? I mean a bit of humour is great but it’s getting out of hand I feel, and there is no real dialogue. Okay, I know what will happen now: everyone will hate me and give me a thumbs down but that’s fine.

    Dear Sohpia, What is the alternative? B. Civil strife and or C. more death.

    I think I opt for option A. I like to keep as many Lebanese alive whether shiite, sunni, druze, christian, or jew. Maybe someday they will learn to be nicer to each other. At least we will have hope.

  • Leb-Syrian

    It seems that some people would rather dwell on the past, and hate, and cause more problems which will bring them back a 100 years instead of forgive and forget. Maybe that is how you deal with your family, but when it involves the people of 2 whole countries which are neighbors, you should wish for good relations and peace, instead of more hate and bad mouthing. Thank god none of you here are politicians, because we’d be more screwed than we already are. It seems like most of you are mad at the world and come on here and post at the end of a stressful day. Lighten up.

  • Jean-Jaques Francois

    Leb-Syrian, when the Syrian army occupied our land, they did not conduct themselves as “brotherly”. They were nothing but a gang of thugs that never stopped imposing their will on the defenseless people of Lebanon. I hope the people of Syria never have to experience the murder and humiliation that we did on behalf of the Syrian regime.

    Asking a nation of people to forgive and forget about a brutal 30 year occupation just 4 years later, when in fact most still consider Lebanon occupied vis a vis our corrupt leadership – you clearly have no concept of what the Lebanese were put through. Don’t preach to us about loving a nation of people when your army ravaged our land and raped our women.

    I have many Syrian friends who are nothing like their regime, unfortunately the regime is all we see in Lebanon. When people like you, who seem decent in many ways, act as apologists for the Syrian regime – you do the good people of Syria no favors.

    Jean, then what is your solution? Have a full out war with Syria? I am not making excuses for Syria, I love Lebanon as much as I love Syria. Do I love the regime, NO. And trust me the people of Syria have experienced murder and humiliation from their own government, including family members of my own, but obviously I will not include details on here. But I have moved on and not hated the whole country for what the regime has done. As much as you would like to, you cant just have Syria next door and ignore it, it will always be there. So either have a full out war, or peace. But please dont put words in my mouth and say that I am an apologist for the Syrian Regime. I am just all for peace, yes even with Jews. Hating and being negative won’t get anyone anywhere.

    Butterfly – Hezbollah not still only in charge of the Airport. They’re in charge of Lebanon. They think having their way and eliminating people here and there will bring peace to Lebanon.
    Lebanon will never have peace and calm unless the 4 axis of evil leave it alone. Irab, Israel, Hezbollah and syria.
    Also I can see the people who hate lebanon here gave a negative rating to someone who said i love lebanon. These guys must be pro-syrian and hezbollah supporters. Thank you for showing us your true love..

    Peace or full out war, are these really the only two options that exist in your mind leb-syrian? There are many levels on which a relationship can exist that fall between those two extremes.

    Bravo for finding room in your heart to forgive injustice. Some Lebanese have done so, but for many it will take a lot more time, and a lot more on the part of the Syrian regime.

    You’re right in that Lebanon is stuck between two of the worst neighbors in the world. I don’t fall in line with the camp that believes settling for the lesser of the two evils is the path forward.

    Long live a free and independent Lebanon!
