LEBANONESQUE: April 2006
http://lebanonesque.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Impressions, views, and steam-blowing by a lonesome cowboy. Friday, April 14, 2006. Short Stories of the 75-76 War. Yesterday, April 13, found many Lebanese bloggers trading stories about the civil war. And with Ecce Libano adding pressure, I had to blog. Two anecdotes that in my mind illustrate the horrible, the half-way decent, and the touching found in all wars. The militiamen asked for ID papers (which in Lebanon have an item revealing one's religion/sect). What are you doing here? I don’t know how h...

LEBANONESQUE: August 2005

Impressions, views, and steam-blowing by a lonesome cowboy. Thursday, August 04, 2005. I am speechless. Watch the video (arabic with english subtitles). HERE. Thank God for the SANE Mufti. Watch also the (undeserved) deference both the interviewer and the Tyre Mufti give to the Mount-Lebanon Mufti. 1) As expected, the fanatical nut is more certain and assured in his demeanor.

LEBANONESQUE: February 2006
http://lebanonesque.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Impressions, views, and steam-blowing by a lonesome cowboy. Sunday, February 19, 2006. Lahoud: Fly Me to Khartoum. You decide to go to a meeting of the Arab League of course. (That's the annual meeting of the Arab League March 28, in Kartoum, Sudan.). Because the only thing you can do is try to freeze time. And what better way to do that than to go to an event where NOTHING happens, NOBODY cares what happens, NO ONE registers what happens other than some overpaid self-important League bureaucreep. Well m...

LEBANONESQUE: December 2005
http://lebanonesque.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Impressions, views, and steam-blowing by a lonesome cowboy. Wednesday, December 28, 2005. Israel Retaliates: Saniora Do Your Job. Katyusha's fired over north Israel. Israel bombs Palestinians in Naameh. Palestinian groups and Hezballah deny firing on Israel. The US, EU and UN will urge caution on all sides? The suspense is killing me. I just want to focus on one simple aspect, but that aspect pervades the whole (failed) approach to the problem. Here is what PM Saniora said after the Israeli attack. I als...

LEBANONESQUE: October 2005
http://lebanonesque.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Impressions, views, and steam-blowing by a lonesome cowboy. Friday, October 28, 2005. Army Response: Better, but not Enough. (Updated). The words used by our politicians and our military have got to change. Along with their actions. Mohamed Ismail, a civilian, doing work for and with the Lebanese Army as shot dead two days ago. In my book, the shooting killed an innocent Lebanese civilian (bad enough) AND was an assault on the authority of the army, pure and simple. The creeps apparently took 6 army sold...

This blog is a perfect portrayal of the Lebanese society reflecting divergent and often contradictory points of view while trying to define what each of us perceive as best for our country. Thursday, July 12, 2007. Israeli blogger Lisa Goldman in Beirut! The news came as a shock to some. A Zionist agent roaming the streets of Beirut after successfully penetrating airport security! Down with the government! Lisa, just as you mentioned in your blog. Extremists always have the loudest voice. Israeli blogger...

This blog is a perfect portrayal of the Lebanese society reflecting divergent and often contradictory points of view while trying to define what each of us perceive as best for our country. Wednesday, October 25, 2006. We are leading serious and strong efforts to form a national unity government , (Hezbollah MP Kamil Rifai).

Echo Lebanon: September 2006
http://echolebanon.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
This blog is a perfect portrayal of the Lebanese society reflecting divergent and often contradictory points of view while trying to define what each of us perceive as best for our country. Thursday, September 28, 2006. Ever since Kesrewan-Jbeil MP Naamtallah Abi Nasr issued his famous Call to the Maronites (read it here. That the General actually. Sometimes I wonder if our politicians are aware of what they say and of the consequences it might have on the people. Is it irresponsibility or ignorance?

This blog is a perfect portrayal of the Lebanese society reflecting divergent and often contradictory points of view while trying to define what each of us perceive as best for our country. Thursday, December 21, 2006. 11 crucial days for the Tribunal. If the speaker refuses to convene the parliament, the vice-president not only has the right, but also the obligation to do it following a petition signed by a number of MPs:. بحجة دستورية أو عدم دستورية الحكومة، الامر الذي يعود بته الى المجلس الدستوري".
