Gob Bless Lebanon
By: Antoine Harb
The recent situation is
definitely disheartening, but I do believe that there is reason behind the madness -
albeit nonsense. It is in my opinion that certain people/factions in Lebanon are
insecure and freightened about the warm relations and bonds being forged between the Druze
and the Maronites. These people are intimidated and fear that this
"natural" alliance will prevent or make difficult their succession into
powerfull positions. Wether it be Sunni, Shiite or Orthodox, the people in question
are pro-Syrian and rely on Syria to strengthen their national position.
The positive side of this incident is that it has triggered a renewed resiliance among the
nationalists and rekindled the flame of resistance againts Syrian hegemony. You will
see mass protests and opposition against the government of the Syrian puppets. The
Lebanese revolution will forcefully errupt if the vioce of the people is muffled and their
nationalistic calls are ignored.
God Bless Free LEBANON!
