Lebanon’s dark fate

That last vestiges of democracy abandon my country, leaving it as barren as the rest of the Arab world.…

What saddens me, however, is not the fact that the Syrian are the only ones calling the shots in Lebanon, but the fact that not one politicians that wield powers effective botching their planes, dared stand against them. All cowered down and nodded their acceptance, relinquishing their ideals, the trust put in them, and their country.…

However I shouldn't feel betrayed, for it is the Syrian who appointed these so called Lebanese government officials (ministers, MP and the rest) and it is quit natural for them to follow their masters blindly. Yet for several of them I still harbored some sliver of hope, that they will revolt and shed their cloaks of servitude and grasped freedom, no matter what the cost will be to them or their personnel interests. But I was wrong, and no matter what they say or will say, I will never again vote for them or support them!…

What u wrote here is relay great. But why did we all forget this reality now. u pledged here not to trust in these politicians that work for Syria. and we are all forgetting that these guys are now our heroes who will push Syria out. I think that we musn't forget so easily who those guys are. i'm not saying that we shouldn't stand behind them but that we must be coscious! Lebanese Don't give all ur trust. let's help to push the syrians out but let's not count on these guys to make miracles. We are the ones able to push Syria out and all strangers BUT ONLY US, Lebanese youth, can make miracles and change our country.
