Prison Break in Lebanon!

10 inmates broke out Zahle prison in Lebanon, six were caught later, and the four most dangerous fugitives are still free! Isn't it amazing?
Grazie!

Why Not?

Fidel Castro would perfectly fit to be the next Lebanese president. May be he terminated his contract with Cuba in order to sign a 6-month loan move to Lebanon, with a contract extension as an option.
At least, an individual with Castro’s caliber and versatility would prevent any intruder to intervene with the peace and sovereignty of Lebanon. Games played in Lebanon by other powers would be forced to change their venue and time of fixture, none of the current leaders would be able to move an inch when proper pressing and closure is provided. Again, the Lebanese public is able to unite under their flag, a good passer, dribbler, or in other words a captain is needed; if and only if it would happen!
Let’s hope for the best!

The Early Hours of Chaos-Beirut
23/11/07 22:16
Image: The words “La7ood al Mal3oon” or “The Cursed – Lahoud” sprayed on one of Beirut’s streets. The phrase is about the size of a car, sprayed on the middle of the road for everyone to see.
Very disappointed! I took this photo late night at Friday a couple of meters away from my apartment. It seems that the Lebanese have decided to demote ‘peace’ to the bottom of their agenda.

Hariri Tribunal-We want your views!
03/06/07 14:55
The Security Council adopted a binding resolution, number 1757, which puts into effect, an International Tribunal that looks into the assassination of the late Rafic Hariri, Basil Fuleihan and in compliance with the Lebanese government’s request to include the cases of Samir Qasir, George Hawi, and Bashir Jmayel. Like most political issues in Lebanon, polarized views seem overcome all others. Some factions view that this is a step in the right direction, others are skeptical about the move and wanted the court to have been formed out of a national consensus. According to today's edition of the Jerusalem Post, Syria indicated its refusal to deal with the tribunal. A decision that questions the court's ability to operate. On the other hand, certain Lebanese groups have indicated that such a response is a clear sign of Syria's involvement in the case.
Our blog does operate out of Lebanon, and so I thought it would be appropriate to get feedback on this important issue. How do you feel about this? Is it an infringment on Lebanese sovereignty? Is it a way to protect Lebanon and provide stability? Or do you have a different view? Please share.

I left my friend’s apartment a while ago heading home, but decided to pass by Quality Market to get something. Passing by the Saudi Embassy, where Lebanese Internal Forces had set up a checkpoint, a police officer stopped me after I passed the checkpoint, so I had to reverse 50 meters to see what he wants.
As usual, he had nothing to say:
Me: You wanted something?
Him: No the license plate
Me: a…
Him: (he interrupts) Yeah you’re a tourist
Me: No, I study here!
Him: Okay “allah ma3ak” (take care)
Me: Did you want something? Were you calling me?
Him: Yeah okay, nothing, “7abeebi”
Me: ?!!!! ‘Okay!’
I drove to the mini-market, got my stuff, turned around heading back home when ANOTHER officer stopped me! This time he had a purpose at least. He wanted a jump-start cable because the battery of the brand new police car had gone dead.
I’m not being sarcastic! Recently the police force introduced Ford Explorer police cars that keep their flashers on all day long while cruising around Beirut. No wonder the battery was dead. Grazie!

This speaks volumes. I guess we need to be reminded from time to time. This is what Lebanon went through for twenty years and is taking a fast track to its recurrence! So do the Lebanese miss it that much?
I am dedicating this post to all the children of Lebanon, whose childhoods have to be spent amidst chaos as opposed to happiness and prosperity.
