What is happening in Lebanon is FASCINATING but there is hardly any English material covering the reality of the war of Will, Power & superpower that is taking place there now. I find it amazing that Americans have no idea in how many conflicts they really are involved and how many they are losing. I hardly post anything on Lebanon because I imagine that if one doesn't have a complete background on the very complicated Lebanese political situation, it becomes difficult to appreciate the details of an article.

So much material has not been translated to English... and thus not posted..

Most frustrating...

I like Fadlallah. He always has something interesting to say... and of course all that the US has achieved is increased animosity towards it and increased extremism. People are rightly fed up with the US, with its lies and hypocrisy..

Even the American educated Arabs have just had it with the US..

..poodles b'liar and narkozio..

KHUN EMPIRE 450 AD

You are right about Arab Americans waking up. I am one of them. Until the invasion of Lebanon I had no idea how vicious, sick, and inhuman this plastic concoction of a 20th century creation of 'israel' was. No idea!

Mary Shelleys Frankenstein was a superior creation compared to this thing called israel.

When you live in Canada and the USA you live rather comfortably and oblivious of the world outside N.A.

When I was growing up in the USA I had no idea that almost everyone was a 'jew' in the entertainment industry, and they owned the studios, publishing, the uppermost executive positions.

A Palestinian friend of mine born in Chicago told me how her father and her would argue about the jews. He told her they run and own everything. She would yell back calling her father narrow-minded.

Then she graduated from high school, started working in Bridal retail as a sales rep and a buyer.

And she saw all around her who the people were in the top positions. She was dumb-founded for sure. Her father was right.

It took Lebanon getting destroyed by israel to make me really open my eyes.

I have never been interested in blogging before and have never conversed with people online.

I can't imagine a better reason to blog, to communicate with other people than to learn what is going on around us and why these horrible things are happening.

I have been blogging since September 06.

I used to visit the Lebanese Blogger Forum. They talked a lot about Lebanese politics. A dizzy experience!

A Lebanese man from another blog was very good at explaining those politics. Very good, but, of course he was from Lebanon.

I still don't understand it. It takes serious study and quiet meditation! lol.

When my uncle comes from Lebanon to visit his sons, I hope to ask him more about the politics. If he has the patience!

I know that everyone in my family despises Jumblatt and the junior Hariri, a no-brainer. But there is division on the senior Hariri.

And that's as far as I dare to go.

Lebanon's politics
enough to leave anyone
[who's not raised in Lebanon]...

Very happy to meet you Rhiannon:) I think however that I didn't express myself properly when I said that "Even the American educated Arabs have just had it with the US". What I actually meant to say was that Arabs such as myself who live in the Arab world and who have had a totally western education throughout highschool and then graduated from American universities... are fed up with America. We were kind of groomed to be 'pro America'.. after all that is why the US opens its universities in countries around the world. What I meant to say was that even us... the 'groomed' ones, would rather side with the devil now and not the US.

Again, its nice to meet you Rhiannon... and indeed, the political situation in Lebanon is very complet. I can barely keep up with it.

Emile Lahoud said yesterday that he would NOT hand over power to the Seniora government:) That was a smack in the US's face..

Hello there, dear girl...

I recall an interview on CNN last summer with Emile Lahoud. He was so much better than Seniora when speaking of Hezbollah. Lahoud was calm, positive and uplifting with his speech. He said Hezbollah cannot be beaten. People don't understand that Hezbollah had to fight two super powers. Little tiny Hezbollah against two ferocious bullies.

I am reminded of the scene in the movie Pay It Forward where a young boy can't stand it any longer when he sees, again, three older boys beating up on a much younger boy.

He's on his bike and he pedals right into the thugs, breaking their hold on the young one.

One of the bullies end up stabbing this hero to death.

I see no difference in this short scene and that of Hezbollah, the cowardly israeli army and its bully host America.

Isn't it funny how the zionist elitists tell on themselves in their Hollywood stories - don't you think?

Emile told it like it was. I give him credit for that. Seniora was too much of a coward.

You can barely keep up with the Lebanese politics?

I think you do really well!
