Hi guys,
couple questions for you: Does this large HB demo change the dynamic for you guys? Do you still think the momentum is for the democracy protestors? thanks

Astonished as always :-) I think, two months ago, Mr."we-will-give-you-democracy" didn't even know where Lebanon is on the map!

كل عمري انا بكره الفكر الديني

هلق نحنا عبيد لاله نصرالله وجنته الواسعة

انا اعتقد انو رب نصر الله لح يجيب اجلنا

لانو الفكر الديني ما بهمو الوطن

بهمو وطن الآخرة

يا ساتر من الآتي

انا متعزي انو كل اللبنانيي بوج نصرالله وجنته

شكرا

Appreciate your insight, Tempest. As for Eve and Emigre, I'm really not sure why some of you guys are so hostile. What's the problem with my interest in your situation? Especially when I really could be spending my free time blogging about something else. Really, I almost understand your cynicism,l because you probably have a reason for it historically speaking, but you should understand that western eyes are now fully fixed on all Human Rights and Democracy efforts across the middle east. We're watching because we now understand that your freedom is our security. If you don't like that that's the reason, fine, but at least understand that our Security Policy and National Interests are now fully aligned with Freedom in the middle east, rather than in supporting or at least tolerating terrorist dictatorships for "the sake of stability".
As for the protests, I was asking becuase the HZB rally yesterday did change the media dynamic here a little. 500K people is a lot, and was double the democracy rallies of the previous several days. Regardless, I think HZB made a mistake, if their purpose was to ally with Assad, because if the army and security services aren't fully out by the May elections, sanctions will probably be in place by the US and EU. Also, HZB, by helping Syria, may have earned itself a "terrorist" rating by Europe, which has been hesitant on that front. The US had been pushing for that designation for some time now, and the EU didnt want to go that direction. This might have moved that decision along a little.
Can we be friends now?

Don't take it to heart!
I speak for myself at least when I say that I appreciate the world's interest and support.
I think my friends were just reacting to an increasingly vocal accusation that the opposition is pushing for some Western agenda. We just want to stress that the players are Lebanese, but applause is always welcome!

JP,
with all my respect to you and your above-mentioned opinion, but who was talking about you? Liminal posted a picture, and we commented. as simple as that. I'm sure I'm not the only one who have this opinion about Bush, since there are 49% of the American voters as well, right? In any case, yeah, we're friends, I have nothing against you personally :-)

peace,
lim

Problem is, tempest, it's not his money and it's not his mouth.

Tempest, I read what you wrote, then I remembered Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, and I couldn't make a connection between "Bush" and "admiration" :-) In any case, he sure does beat any current Lebanese leader!

Zounazar, according to me, I would have preferred to leave the choice to the visitor. It's up to him to decide if he cares to reveal his identity or not.

Tempest, la2, akid mish bass heik. The movie was just an example... did you mean to say he was never objective? I know how producers can tamper with images as they like, but there were scenes that are just beyond that: They didn't have to manipulate anything to make him look bad, he did the job by himself :-) Halla2 akid the element of exaggeration is conceivable in all matters.

I love seeing different scripts, even if I don't understand it - it's all fine to me.

zounazar, you speak four, i speak five. my arabic isn't perfect, but i can read and understand you. do i have to pass an arabic test to be lebanese? i hope not! ;)

i think we should have registered comments because there is a chance for evil-doers to come into our forum and spam our comments. from my experience at IBC, i would like to avoid it completely. but if you can think of a compromise, i'm very willing to listen.

who else is for anonymous comments?

i see this as a public place for lebanese. if you're willing to come here, you should be willing to own up to your opinions.

i could be taking a break from blogging for a while as i'm undergoing some big changes in my life.

so, please tell me soon if you want to come to some compromise.

peace,
liminal

;)

i have no malice. just a grin and a wink.
