The government canceled its decisions, and they stressed that there is no winner or loser. Al - Mannar directly puts a sentence: "People celebrate in shooting in the air", and then recieve a call "the master of resistance won against the Israelis". this is not over, and Manar is charging up its audience still. This is not over , not by a long shot... not the way the Opposition is celebrating its victory and making the other half of the Lebanese as traitors. This is repulsive and disgusting the way they reacted instead of taking the perfect chance to make a true reconciliation on the grassroots level. Shame on Hezbollah's Mannar.

One day
the apolitical
intellectuals
of my country
will be interrogated
by the simplest
of our people.

They will be asked
what they did
when their nation died out
slowly,
like a sweet fire
small and alone.

No one will ask them

It puts all key figure heads of the government and the Opposition, and the translation says: Leave our God alone (in exact meeting, but it means leave us alone!!)

I still cannot believe We'am Wahhab is considered a key figure.

till now (on 9:15) the Future commented on the Halba massacre which says coming from the Future HQ: That this was planned, and a second statement (as if forgot to add the first), that they asked their supporters to stay at home!

Well why dont they admit that , because Sectarian driven, all parties are losing control over their supporters? Including them and their sectarian charge!

"When I turned up there yesterday morning, I joined a queue for manouche – Lebanon's hot cheese breakfast sandwiches – at Eyman's bakery in Watwat Street. I patiently waited behind four black-hooded gunmen from Hizbollah's allied (but highly venal) Amal movement only to find uniformed Lebanese soldiers representing the government patiently queuing at the next window. Law and disorder, it seems, both have to eat."

(he should check what Amal are doing elsewhere in insulting the women of the neighborhood)

I cant believe the term "Cross over to East Beirut / Ashrafieh" is back in our language after disappearing for 18 years ...

Future TV is back and at the opening, Ms. Khatib gave a war-like speech and a triumph for the other half of Lebanon. They are broadcasting from Beirut Hall and welcomed 14th of March figures like Elias Attallah and Faris So'aid.

I remember when the July War broke out and saw how fast the Israelis were triggering refugees from the South and elsewhere, everyone rushed for the aid of everyone. Some hospitalities were not as perfect or friendly, but they were there. A lot of people remarked: "Lebanon witnesses a rare unity!"

Now, after that victory on a national scale from the grassroots level, they are killing each other. The activists are pinned down in front of the TV and try to absorb how in less than a week we made it to this level. How many died for political scores...

The Government and the Opposition should be taken to the Supreme Court...

Day 6: Army warns armed groups to stay off streets by Hussein Abdallah

BEIRUT: Lebanon's army said on Monday it would use force if necessary to impose law and order in the country and prevent any armed presence of any of the warring factions.

"Army units will halt violations ... in accordance with the law, even if that leads to the use of force," a military statement said. It said the army would start implementing the order at 6 a.m. on Tuesday.

Fighting erupted again in North Lebanon on Monday, further exacerbating tensions after days of deadly battles that have driven the nation to the brink of full-blown civil war.

What worries me most is that tomorrow we wake up and pray: "it is over", but it doesn't. I know it won't be 17 years of war, but my parents for everyday then lived the horrors, and every day they woke up prating that it will be over.

The Political deputy of Nasrallah Hajj Khalil turned the story as if "we saved Beirut from a crisis", suddenly me and the comrades looked at each other and one said: "what, should we say thank you?"

After three years of government and opposition media building up their masses, it exploded. It is no surprise that Hezbollah can overwhelm anyone in front of them, but it is still surprising that Hezbollah directed their arms to the inside of Lebanon, and in the case of Mt. Lebanon, their heavy weaponry on villages with citizens in it.

The army is taking over 14th of March HQs of well known armed parties, after the 14th of March party leaders surrender these HQs to them or else the Opposition will enter by force.

If NBN accuses Arabiya of stirring fights because it is against them politically, what is it, any media against them are automatically Israelis? What about their way of coverage about how they are defeating the enemy or "freeing the other sects" or "defending the resistance?" or not even mentioning anything about their party, AMAL Movement, having arms?

What irritates me is how Oppositon media (Tayyar.org, Manar TV, and NBN) say their party militants as "Elements" (3anasser in Arabic), while the Government as Militias. They are both militias.

The government didnt comment about their own arms, even though no match in number or their use in experience, at least one comment is needed.

"What is it about Lebanon that creates these crises?

Doesn't the US Administration know that this is making things worse?

Now, the Opposition channels will have a field day to justify what they did in terms of fighting Israel ... bleh....

What can this lousy ship do? Blast the other half of the Lebanese? The opposition civilians? I think the US lost a lot of insight in terms of foreign affairs since the days of Habib, Kissinger, and the entire Clinton Administration.

I think they are trying to make it worse on 14th of March to go and make Iran look more evil, or even wack it to protect the artificial "Cedars revolution", I wouldnt be surprised because hey look at Iraq and their weapons of mass destruction!!!!
