Hariri's Game (part 2) The Lebanese Government Quit.

category international | politics / elections | other press author Tuesday March 01, 2005 08:13author by - Report this post to the editors

a.k.a. "the Cedar Revolution"

In what is being soundbyted as "a peaceful intifada" and a "cedar revolution" the complete government of the Lebanon last night handed in their papers,keys, and whispered to each other about not using big cars anymore.

the "very dramatic move" came after a days protest in "martyr's square". Most people don't want to be martyrs, they want to live peaceful lives and participate in their society, and also live free of the wickedness of war, corruption, lies, indoctrination, criminality of any politicians, the foolishness of the proud, any of the things they have long laboured under the yokes of. They do not want to live or their children to live in fear of intimidation, exile, poverty, inequality. They want normal lives.

When all your government resign you may safely consider you have taken an important step in the right direction. Anarcho-syndicalists approve of this type of thing.

This has not exactly been a bloodless affair.
the estimated 300kg which brought the former Mr Hariri to the attention of plagiarising obits throughout the world, killed quite a few people.

Lebanese commandos deployed briefly around the headquarters of the Syrian intelligence service in Beirut before pulling out to a nearby Lebanese army barracks, witnesses say.

Dozens of commandos and five troop carriers took up positions on crossroads leading to the headquarters in the Ramlat al-Baida neighbourhood. Syrian troops and intelligence officers were still in the headquarters, the witnesses said on SaturdAy.

About 45 minutes later, the commandos pulled out and moved to a barracks in the area.

Lebanese soldiers were also seen near a Syrian intelligence office in Hamra neighbourhood and in other streets in Beirut.

The Lebanese army command was not reachable to comment on the movements which came a few hours before Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was expected to announce a partial Syrian troop withdrawal from Lebanon.

yeah right.
witnesses just told me that the mansion house has been surrounded by black & tans who then withdrew to hold positions in mulligans pub and are buying upset ISEQ pension fund managers cheap drinks- oh why do they panic, when the screen goes blank? remember, a % loss is just like a %profit only the other way round.

The Syrians are going to make a statement today,
because we want them to do it on the sabath.

"You should cut down on your pork life mate"???

some thoughts and asides-

This is not an "orange revolution". There's no Julia involved, this is the post-imperialist backyard of the French, not the WingèdLion of US/UK. And the only french Julia, is Didier Julia, the maverick deputy blamed for fouling the quick release of last years french Iraqi hostages Chesnot and malbrunot. He has come back to front pages in france now as the distraught Aubenas (current french hostage in Iraq) rekindles the links between one section of the DGSE's foreign meddling with another.

Lebanon is future candidate for the European Union. And shall move into emergent democracy accordingly. But any US attempts to profit from the Harriri game to pressure Syria at this time are ill conceived. So that smirk on Condolence Rice's face really should go. Hezbollah are other players on the stage, deprived of their TV and other prop. networks (c/f search engine) in the eyes of the West they are "yesterday's islamic revolutionaries" created in a cold war atmosphere, they don't do things the modern way, they don't go in for snuff movies, and they just hark on about the zionist entity and stuff. Very old hat. But the Lebanese people (the real ones not the ones who just flew there in the last week) so tired of seeing the profits from their state tied up in one family and its chronies or manipulated into supporting Syria's sabre rattling at the "zionist entity" have a certain affection for Hezbollah and their fellow travellers.
They're in a sort of way what the NRA are to the neo-conservaties in the USA.

And no-one from smirking Rice to Bush, to antichrist Blair to even Chirac has offered an explanation for how the Lebanese economy would survive the "anti-Syria" curve that will in time see almost two million workers unwelcome.

(they're not very good with ethnic diversity)
