Making Sense of this Craziness

Making Sense of Lebanon - yesterday, today and tomorrow

This country that was created on the eve of 1920 looks ahead at potential for nation-state.

Yesterday, the French left, the secterian system was enforced, Arabism and Western thought fought, the Palestinian cause lost its way in the land of cedars, Lebanese killed each others, Israel machiavellically sought its way, Syria worked for and got its Pax Syriana, Rafik Hariri was killed, Hezbollah fought a war of attrition with Israel and, and, and...

Where are the Lebanese of all this

Where is the independent voice of the citizen that speaks regardless of tribes, sects or leaders*

There is much to be done and less to be said

As the saying goes: Actions speak louder than words
