Shame on Lahoud!
Shame on his attitude during the arab summit in Khartoum. He sparks clashes between himself and M.Saniora, saying that Lebanon is proud of its Resistance (Hezbollah)and that this resistence is the desire of every single lebanese and that he speeks in the name of all of these Lebanese when he says that. What a lie! What an absurd comment! How can we let such a dement person still sit on our presidents trone? Tfeh on such comments, on such lies, and on such attitude.
Lahoud is a syrian agent. He never talked in the name of lebanese, and he has nothing to do as president.
Am I wrong? |

Lebanon is going nowhere pal, you know why? Because Sanioura didn't have the courage to answer back: "I asked them to replace the word resistance, because actually WE ARENT PROUD OF IT, or by saying BECAUSE ITS A SYRIAN/IRANI TERRORIST ORGANIZATION".
And he never will have the courage either...
It's going no where because the Sunnites aren't really accepting the fact that to continue what they started by joining Christians on the 14th of March, they must admit all their past positions were wrong for lebanon*, and totally give up their Arabic appetite.
Anyway, if they really have the intention to carry the "Loubnan Awwalan" slogan, they better cut links with their past...i mean for god's sake Sanioura is going to meet Bachar soon, after being called a slave!
If they're not ready to cut them, then they must agree with me that Lebanon isn't a coherent nation, and never was! So let's start partition and have - for once - geography at humanity's service and not the other way round.
Joumblatt is doing way better than Hariri.

I do not mean to change the subject, but I thought it may be useful for me to try to give our lives in Lebanon a deeper meaning than just worrying about Lahoud and Saniora, Maronites and Sunnis, and the shape of dialogue tables and the so-called ‘elites’ who sit around it.
Could it not be said, thinking particularly of our situation in Lebanon (let alone the Middle East), that a microcosmic cyclic history would have to exist necessarily for us to go back always to where we started? Heroic stories of resistance against oppressors and occupants, rhetorical challenges to superpowers who allegedly envy the beauty of our land, armed conflicts amongst ourselves, tables of dialogue of all shapes, same issues again and again, the faces change from one round to the next, but the names remain the same, the issues remain the same and the outcome rarely varies.
That is not to say that the cyclic nature of history denies a beginning and an end to our condition, or requires that time exists all at once? But perhaps we are trapped in a temporal causality loop labeled by the dryer terminology of modern physics as a "closed timelike curve." What it implies is that you can travel on a round-trip and return to your starting point in both space and time! Briefly, it makes time travel possible. For those who have doubts that time travel exists, I invite you to visit Lebanon and follow-up daily developments on the Lebanese socio-political scene.
I have thought about this myself and every time I think that it is linear (not cyclic) and we are making progress, something happens and wakes me up. And at the moment, I am beginning to lean to this cyclic view of time, at least at the microcosmic scale of Lebanon.
And here I drift…
For this cyclic view to be true, it must also be true (to some degree) that time exists all at once; that is to say, what has happened and what is yet to happen must somehow be one. It seems a paradox, but I believe that this contradiction may be a Natural Truth. We must keep in mind, too, that our human interpretation and understanding of our surroundings and the workings of the abstract we call 'Time' is necessarily limited and most definitely a small glimpse at a Greater Reality.
All that is Is; and all that was Is; and all that shall be Is. What we experience is not the 'is', but rather an 'is'. I believe that Time is simply a dimension to a much larger Greater Reality; all things that exist are a part of it: energy, matter, consciousness, time. All of these make up this Greater Reality -- some call it God. As I have said, Time is a dimension through which Reality is experienced. All things that have occurred and will occur will be made tangible to conscious beings (which are, in turn, part of the Greater Consciousness of Reality) through that dimension of Time. This is how we perceive Reality as Humans -- in a somewhat linear dimensional progression; i.e. then, now, then.
I believe, nevertheless, that the way we perceive and experience Reality is somewhat limited. It is not wrong, nor is there anything wrong with a linear approach. It is most practical and it is the result of the natural faculties of our consciousness. There must be room made, however, for the postulation that how we perceive Reality may not be the actual Nature of Reality itself. That is to say, though we perceive reality through Time in a linear pattern, Reality may not exist in this same pattern. In fact, Reality is not constrained by time, nor is it (perhaps) a linear progression. On the contrary, Reality is One -- one gigantic and cosmic Is. And as I have said, all matter, energy, time, experience, consciousness is part of this. Necessarily, we cannot understand it in its entirety, and can only understand fragments of it. That is to say, to perceive Reality we must fragment it. We must experience it through a linear path of Time.
Therefore, history does exist all at once.
I believe the ideas of Fate and Destiny work quite well within this framework. Of course we always have free will. I am always free to do what I like when I like and how I like to do it. Nevertheless, what I will do in the linear path of time (the Future) has already happened as part of some Greater Reality. And while that choice was freely made, my free choice had already been 'known', or part of that Reality.
I stand in one moment of time. I exist in one fragment of Reality.
… in our Lebanese reality (small r), while the progression may appear linear, it is not. But there is room left to skew fate or exercise free will (whichever one you prefer); for that, we have to set new goals, change the tools, and choose new players… in other words we have to play with Fate. Perhaps when we do that, we will go into hyperdrive, execute a warp jump into a new reality and enter a totally new and different loop, albeit in the same dimension.
These are my thoughts. |

Man following your argument, half of the Christians are actually supporting Hizballah
