What's happening to Lebanon?


So Jibran Tweini's assassination marks the 15th car bombing since Harriri's Assassination in Feb 05...what's happening in leb is pretty weird and gloomy to say the least... i know everyone jumps to blame syria immediately but they'd be pretty stupid to make it that obvious especially with the US on their case... someone is framing them and with emotions hot after 30 year of Syrian occupation the Lebanese are falling for it...nasty stuff. Then we have all this gigantic globalization spirit mobilizing and trying to weaken the good values in the Lebanese culture (and the whole middle east) and leaving only superficial commercialized values alive..
sad stuff

well, we all know that Lebanon's democracy is for religions and this seems like it will not change, right?

Glad I was right with my "natural" arabic:)

Atabbara, I read them in An-Nahar/ Al-Turath news paper published by ?Iterna? in L.A.
Your grammar is right, however, I went back and read the vow again after your remarks and It read ?Muslemeen (before) Wa Mase7een? That is after Jibran?s death.
Anyways, you have a very interesting perspective on what could have been the reason behind the change of words of Jibran?s words. If some really used it this way in Lebanon then I think it is disappointing! Even in death people try to find reasons to generate hearted rather than unite and build upon differences.

I hope things get better, inshaALlah.

It is sad to see that once two countries were on the same page and politically friends are now apart...

I totally think that Lebanon should be free to decide what to do after Syria pulled its military.

Also, I think Jibran was likable by many Syrians even though he speaks against the Syrian policies in Lebanon...etc.

Gassan Tweini's dad is such an admirable person. The 80 years old man spoke the words of Jibran aftre his death: " Noqsemo be Allah Al-3athem, Muslimona wa Masee7ueeon An nabqa mowa7aden le abad al- abedeen, men ajli lobnan al-3athem"


Last thing, Nations can't grow without freedom, this goes for Lebanon and Syria.
