Alas…

The two young men have been found dead. Apparently they were killed shortly after they were kidnapped.

You could feel the country boiling, anger is spreading... Political leaders from all over the spectrum have called for calm and restraint.

Joumblatt. despite all the threats that he faces, marched in the funeral procession of the two boys, stressing the need for clam and civil peace.

Ironically Joumblatt in the last weeks, have been constantly accused by Hezbollah of working towards igniting a new civil war, is the one who is literally keep the nightmarish genie inside the bottle. He only needs to give the tiniest of nods and all hell will break loose.

Nevertheless, a few days from now, Hezbollah will restart their incessant lies about Joumblatt's efforts to start the second civil war…

Meanwhile, the two young men are dead, caught in a cross fire, futile death...meaningless...hopefully the last...But I fear it is only the beginning...

Hello friend,


I was just wondering how you are doing. I have not checked on your blog for while. I am sorry for the news of these months past.

I am praying for your peace in Lebanon and your heart.
*Keep writing...Thank You!!

Blessings,
Enriqueta

That's definitely tough luck.

Hard to say much beyond that.

But, as I'm sure I don't have to mention, if the past was that bad, that memory will be enough to motivate Lebanese to by and large reject a violent path and to find the strength to convince the young, who can't remember, that the dark road is not for them either.

BEST OF LUCK in the most sincerest meaning of the phrase.

Bob,
You "forgot" to mention that Jemblatt said that he stands by Hezbollah and that it is a heroic resistance movement for all Lebanese!!

sam

check what Joumblatt said exactly! Hezbollah's methods to divide 14 march will no longer work anymore...
