perpetual_dream ,   jerusalem, OPT   (11.23.06)
Well 2000 ppl doesnt represent anything on the lebanese political arena, they can't and will not force a change in the near future, Hasan Nasralah and the his allies are the ones who are truely popular bc they represent the grass roots.... Sooner or later these 2000 men also will discover that israel's hand played a part in the assasination. Hizbullah men arent sneaky, but Israel is!

8. Isn't this the guy they want us to talk to???
Z Lando ,   Tekoa, Israel   (11.23.06)
Just in the last few days, The 'Peace' Corporation was doing all they could to tell us how NOW we must talk to Assad, the US, Israel - in order to use Syria as a wedge between us and Iran, how Syria would then be a US ally, the violence would stop in Iraq, etc etc.... Of course, it would only "cost" a trifle thing, Israel giving back the Golan... and all of the suddent, Syria would be our great friend.... Rememebr Chaimberlaine said: "...if only Hitler hadn't lied".....

After reading your post, It did take a second to understand that you are also captured with the hatred. try be your self. when you pray try to pray for all. that is the only way to connect to the GOD. Good Luck to you. Let me know when you start love others. and when you see The Picture, whole. The big picture. The mean of life. The place where human has to stay.

Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.23.06)
Pierre's uncle, Bashir Gemayel was murdered in September 1982 after he was elected president. Bashir's little daughter, Maya, was murdered in a car bombing. May the Lebanese people have freedom. My condolences to this courageous family and all in Lebanon who yearn for freedom. http://www.free-lebanon.com/ See photo gallery

reallymuslim lebanon ,   lebanon and arab   (11.23.06)
look youy are free to say what you want but please donot amaze us with your stupidity ok buddy!!! so tell me if the syrians did what did they gain !!!! the govermen would have fallen by the protest that by hezallah and tyar al 3ouni!!! so scratch your head a little and think who really gained by his assasination even in haaretz thee was an article that said it is not to the benefit of the syrians to be envoloved in this assasination and look if you think that is a dream to beat isreal and i donot mean killing the jews a VERY LARGE difference then it is your dream because to me and according to the last war it became a reality
16. 7# - g-d bless Israel, Lebanon, USA!
(11.23.06)
17. why Pierre Gemayel?
Lynne   (11.23.06)
what I was wondering is that how could someone shoot Pierre in the middle of Beirut in broad daylight while no one glimpses him? and I also wonder why Pierre Gemayel?? I think there is one theme to all those asssassinations starting from PM Harriri.. it is true that those who are killed are anti-Syrian but they all happen to be the "not very effective ones" Harriri was assassinated AFTER he accepted extending Lahud's period of Presidency.. if it was actually Syria carrying out those assassinations why didn't it assassinate those who are clearly attacking it? like Jumblatt, Samir Ja'ga or Saad Harriri?? why would they assissinate Harriri who had always been a Syrian ally and not Jumblatt? not to forget that Pierre's assassination took place at a time when Nasrallah was calling for demonstrations against the Seniora government.. anyway.. those are only my thoughts.. I don't think I could point fingers at this side or that.. and niether could anyone of you!!
18. MOSSAD operatives did it to destabilize Lebanon
Hani ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.23.06)
And to sink a deeper wedge between Arab countries. ISRAEL is the prime beneficiary of all this. To the "free" muslim "Lebanese" get a life and learn history. Who was pounding you 4 months ago? You are pathetic, for dreaming the Israelis could one day become your friends. They will never befriend anyone before freeing us from their occupation and evil. Think of us in Palestine for a change. We love Lebanon and want the best for it, including total and unconditional independence.
19. Wake-up call !
dd   (11.23.06)
Unless Christians start doing something substantial about it, they will soon become sitting ducks for the Islamofascist shotguns and will only mourn more dead and unfortunate family memebers. And, Hezbolla, Syria and Iran will only jubilate. Believe me, you can do a lot about it to defend your right to live peacefully in Lebanon. What about asking REAL help from the Vatican, France and the rest of the Christian world for starters ? After all, they do have some right to defend you keep alive, don't they?
20. #11 Fadi represents most Lebaneses' view...
Hani ,   Montreal   (11.23.06)
21. #19 dd.. DO NOT TRY TO TWIST THIS..
Lynne   (11.23.06)
into a Christian -Muslim feud.. was Harriri a Christian too? does an Israeli warplane distinguish between a Lebanese Christian or Muslim?? try to have some sense.. puleeez..
22. #18 You will answer to G-D for your filthy LIES
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.23.06)
G-D commanded: YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS Bible, Psalm 119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of Your judgments.
23. Sympathies - Lebanon for the Lebanese
Nora ,   Israel   (11.23.06)
24. To all who blame "The Mossad"
MushDeLeon ,   Brooklyn, New York   (11.23.06)
Arabs and Muslims can act badly without "The Mossad" playing a hand in it. You're the same types of imbeciles that immediately blamed "The Mossad" when your pals from Saudi Arabia where flying planes into the WTC. First of all, if the Mossad had anything to do with this, how on earth would you know anyhting about it? You wouldn't. You would sit in Canada, or Egypt, or wherever, and type rediculous lies on the computer. Ever though about Syrian intelligence? Lebanese?
25. To the real Coward in #15
Palo ,   Detroit, USA   (11.23.06)
I can tell you that you must be an Iranian rocket scientist who's pretty clueless and naive about what REAL Lebanese want for their country and who killed the great minister. Are you another Fadi who's hiding under his Hezbollah, Syrian and Iranian master dresses because you all too scared to stand up for a great Lebanon. We all know that you are trying to protect them. Lebanon will never be a great free country again until it’s stands up for itself and kicks out the Hezbollah, Iranian and Syrian influences. Quit hiding on your knees under your Hezbollah skirts and be a real man for a change.
26. coward!!!
lebanese   (11.23.06)
buddy i was born in lebanon ,lebanese always proud of my nationality and i am enduring with my fellow lebanese citizens not speaking from 11000 miles away !!! ok buddy well if you donot like my opion well guess what i donot care!!!!!! but what you donot scratch your head a little bit and add 2 with 2 and reread my article maybe you will think if you could which i doubt it . who really gained from this assasination tell me hezb alla who was going to protest against the goverment, whose downfull was certained think use the box above your shoulders. all of the proamerican goverment or as they say filtman goverment is reliefed by this assasination becuase now they can use the atreet against hezb allah . and by the way hezb allah is lebanese too wether you approved or not ok proamerican which is responsible with its smart bombs of killing more than1200 inocent lifes who you are share the murder
27. #26.. Lebanese.. well said..
Lynne   (11.23.06)
28. Palo #25..
Lynne   (11.23.06)
first of all.. I'd like to remind you that Israelis are better experts when it comes to rockets than Iranians:) Israelis themselves boast with this expertise.. secondly.. what great Lebanon are you referring to? Lebanon of 1975? or should I conclude Lebanon of 1982..? where was Lebanon before Hezbollah, Palo? and last, you give yourself the right(as an American or someone living in America) to argue with a Lebanese about "what the real Lebanese want".. did the Lebanese people ask you to speak up in their name?
29. Jesus
steven ,   memphis, tn.   (11.24.06)
Jesus IS the Son Of God. Whether you accept that now or not. You WILL bow before Him one day. His birth and life was recorded in the Old Testament before He was even born. The facts are there. And Allah is not mentioned in my Bible anywhere. It is Abba (Father). He said He was the only way. Just accept Him today and accept His death as a sacrafice for all sin, ( yours and mine). Your life will never be the same. Iv'e got one question for all of you that do not believe. How old are you ? How do you know ? I'll tell you how you know. It is 2006. How do you know ? Because ALL of time is based on Jesus's life. It has been 2006 years since His death. If He was just some prophet of peace, why is all of mankind's time based on Him? His return is an absolute. He is alive today. He will return ! Praise God ! I don't see time based on Muhommad, Buddah, or any other self-proclaimed person of history. They are all dead. They will bow before Jesus also. He is ALIVE. Accept Him today and attain eternal life. For you only have two choices. Live in Heaven eternally or live in Hell eternally. It's totally up to you. I hope you choose Jesus. May God Bless you and you accept Jesus. Just try it. What have you got to lose ? What if you are wrong and Jesus is the only way. Hell is real. Heaven is real. Jesus is real. He is who He says He is. Accept Him before it is too late. I love you all. "Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.' Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:10-12
30. To Lynne in #28
Palo ,   USA   (11.24.06)
I am happy that I touched a nerve with you too, because I am not afraid to stand up for what I believe. Neither you, Fadi nor the coward in #26 represent main stream Lebanon. How brave you are hiding behind your computer screens. Post your name and location. What are you afraid of? The truth? Yes, blame Israel for all of your problems, because you all are not man enough to stand up as true Lebanese. Please remember, if your Iranian masters allow you to, but the Hezoballah started the war that killed the 1200 or more innocent victims and not to include all the Lebanese children who are starving now because your Hezbollah heroes stoled all the Arab reconstruction and winter food money to fill their Swiss bank accounts like Arafat and Hamas did. Justify the assination of elected officials so you can force your Iranian and Syrian influences on your children. Murder those who disagree with you. Lebanon will not be free until all of the Iranian, Syrian and Hezbollah influences are removed. I can tell that you rather hide like a dog and live in a bomb crater than seek the way of peace and stability that we all know is what all Lebanese want. Good luck living in the dark ages.
