Killer handed over

Having originally claimed that someone sneaked in from Israel into Iqlim- al- Tuffah, shot at the army helicpoter and killed the pilot, Hizballah now hand over the real rather than the fabricated killer.
We assume he will be walking free again within the week.

The rope is unravelling

It's falling apart, a little bit unravels here, a little there, till there is nothing holding this country together anymore. The problem is when one faction is above the law, then all the other factions try to achieve the same status.

You hear the news, none of it pushes the country over the edge, yet, but the incidents are increasing, the lawlessness getting more and more obvious, the fighting in Tripoli, the fighting in Baalbeck, Ras el nabe3,Kaskas, and now the killing of an army captain in a helicopter over Hizballah territory.

Again I won't play the who did it guessing game.
Who did it in this country depends on who you support politically, so I know who I think did it and you know who you think did it. The end is still the same, a soldier was murdered flying over airspace in his own country.

I really need to remove the little spiel in my sidebar, I don't think I'm very hopeful anymore. I think we are going to suffer a great deal inflicted internally and from the outside before any real order is restored, if it is ever restored.

But hey, at least they let us have this summer.....

...and its frozen

The Salafis have frozen their memorandum with the Hizbos. Well that didn't last long...

So again lets pray: please please please, send us our own Ataturk.

Hizballah and Salafists sign memorandum of understanding

....or backwards fundamentalist maniacs of Lebanon unite!

Let the rest of us all put our hands together and ask God Almighty to send us our own Ataturk to turn Lebanon into a secular country as soon as possible please please please.

On Borders and Embassies

So the Syrians have given up trying to assimilate us into the Collective and have decided to grace us with an embassy. The border is also going to be demarcated in all places except the one that really counts, so that the Hizbos and the Israelis can continue their war games unimpeded by a line on a map.
Before you despair my fellow Lebanese let me give you some words of wisdom: we are negotiating from a point of weakness and though the results may not be complete,it's a beginning. Lets grab what we can get for now and later, bit by bit, maneuver for more.

Another Bomb

I'm not going to sit here and guess at who did this, judging by the previous results of investigations into the bombing and killings, we'll probably never know anyway.
Whoever did this the result is the same: dead people, devastated families. RIP.

OLYMPICS VS PARLIMENT

For those of you who haven't tuned out of the farce yet, I urge you to switch from watching the useless parliamentarians and their debates, and start watching the magnificent Olympics.
This is what the rest of the world is doing while our politicians babble on, you'll enjoy the Olympics much more, I promise.
