They've done it again

Another explosion. This time in Broumana. Preliminary reports say it was in the parking of Rizk Plaza.

No details are available to me at this time. I will update as soon as I find anything out.

update: Eyewitness reports claim that the bomb resulted in extensive damage and several casualties.

To be completely frank, I feel like these bombs are happening to scare people. First off, they're happening late at night at places populated by foreigners. They're not big enough to make people go insane and start something resembling a civil war, nor are they small enough to make people feel confident they can go in the streets. It's a very sick game. That's my gut.

I don't really think the major point is who "they" are at the moment. We can deduce with some sense of accuracy that it does not help the opposition.

Right?

At least, I certainly don't think it helps the cause of getting the pro-Syrian intel chiefs to resign. And they've simply gotta go. All 7 of them.

It's just my opinion.

-silly me

And people are clearly recoiling in Lebanon. Hey, even here people have withdrawn somewhat.

No, I'm afraid you can't come up with that argument based on the logic of an incredibly different event. And yet again, I can see you enjoy operating with dyslogistic sentiments specially made for those you don't agree with. Don't you know it will get you no where in such arguments. When your premise exisits tangentially, as above, you have no real place to begin proving it. So, if you'd like to speak about logic, first give me your own premise.

There isn't sound logic when you give analogy of yesterday's bomb with the one on 14 Feb. It doesn't ring a solitary note with me when you present a bogus corollary logic.

Mars, I urge you to please make correllations that make sense and aid your premise before making the leap toward logic.

Honestly, I don't understand what you're saying. It makes no sense.


Anyway, alll I'm saying (if I must restate my self) is thatthese bombs in Christian neighborhoods are only allowing the current government to stall and stall and stall, then postpone elections, and stall some more. I believe that this is the direction we're heading. It's a method to cause problems whose effects will be positive for Syria. These effects cannot possibly be positive for the opposition.


When such bombings occur, we here voices out of the corrupt intel services(and the defense minister) that says that now lebanon looks as though it needs syria to stay. Yea, give me a frigggin break. It's a really simple and linear cause and effect tactic they are taking and it's not fooling anybody. Look, we need to save those poor Christians from those terrorists bombs. Well, who's the terrorist in this bannana republic?

Well, I say the intelligence services are the most well-trained and funded terrorists in Lebanon. They could hardly care less about the people.

How's that application for Hizbullah coming along Marsden? When does training start?

Hey Temp,,

Well, I dunno...I would be very surprised if there were not some seriously sketchy deals being made just to make sure Lebanon does not fly off the handle. ANd there are other plans ...anyway, I have the feeling like it's very busy. I'm suspicious and there's that eerie feeling I wish I could just shake.

Still that foreboding...there's definitely political shake up going on at the moment.

Let's see what happens today.

Marsden,

A bit circular, don't you think?

Refer to my first comment. It answers your latest. I'm sorry, but everybody doesn't look at the world as you do.

And over a million people or more want Syria's military and intelligence out of Lebanon. Those same people want a purging of the highest intelligence officials because of their failure to protect Lebanese and specifically because of their failure on 14 Feb. If you know a more practical way of going about it...other than letting Hizbullah take over Lebanese politics, please enlighten us.

Please understand me, I hate it when religion and politics mix together. Thus, Hizbullah is exactly like Bush and his right-wing Christian fundamentalist supporters to me. Capisce?

That's how I look at it.

Enjoy your training! Seems like it could be perfect timing if you want some action.

out,

You got it right... for the so-called Lebanese Opposition.. it's Democracy, but only our way.. freedom, only our way... add to that the belief that Syria is behing anything and anyone who disagrees with the opposition.

Soon, they will paint Jumblatt as pro-Syrian since he dropped his support to UN resolution 1559

I just think we need to separate religion and politics in the Near East and elsewhere. And I'm not so shallow-headed to think there isn't similar mixing of religion and politics inside Lebanon with Christians. I don't think, however, Hizbullah is the answer to our problems. You believe it is. I simply disagree. I'm sorry if you don't like it.

As for the bombings...well, I'm suspicious at them being so similar. And I don't think that's so strange.

And double-standards...please. You think democracy will lead to Nasrallah taking over in Beirut? That's a silly notion indeed.

You're kissing Hizbullah ass. I'm no ass-kisser m.

Eat my shorts.

hehe.

Oh man, South Lebanon is now seceding?

So, you're not saying Hizbullah is the answer to ALL Lebanon and ALL Lebanese's problems?

Boy you confuse me. Cause you sure sound like you do. I mean you're joining in a month or so aren't you?

Good luck in forming the independent state of South Lebanon.

You crazy boy!

And you also think there is no Lebanese Army. Um, ok sure. And Hizbullah isn't an Islamic movement that doesn't care about gay rights (like the Pope), right?

Don't accuse people of double standards when you aren't willing to answer to your own.

Ciao baby

The day Hezb' takes over in Leb will be the day I will burn my passport.
These words come from a Muslim.

For that reason, I don't think true democracy is what is best for Lebanon. We will need to keep a semblance of Taef in order to keep the multisectarian thing going and preserve Beirut from turning into a mini-Tehran.

Hezb might be looking all cute and nice now, but the thought of them having more power than they do right now makes me shudder.
