A couple of articles that have caught my mind today

I/ Syria accepts to mark the Lebanese-Syrian borderline however the Shebaa Farms delimitation should be avoided for the time being (strategical reasons Mr. Assad?)

دمشق تمتنع عن تحديد هوية مزارع شبعا وتستثنيها من ترسيم الحدود الى ما بعد تحريرها والجولان

Amazing how much crap the Lebanese should still hear about the Shebaa Farms issue and the struggle to "liberate" those lands that are not even Lebanese.



II/ Of course the other title - of which I knew on yesterday's evening news - I am refering to none other but the Independence present Hezbollah offered to the Lebanese in general and to the Syrian leadership in particular.

How peculiar was this attack to occur on the 21st of November? Was the Hezbollah trying to send a message of any sort? Is the radical Islamic team reminding us of its "explicit" right to use weapons as seen fit?


Do we like to see such images:



The sad thing is that 4 fighters from the Hezbollah died, in addition to the Israeli casualties. That much for a political move by Damascus.
