Blogs from inside Lebanon + 1 powerful Lebanese rant:

The rant (at this time the second entry down) is powerful. Read it. It comes from a person in the PSP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Socialist_Party

Here are some others (take these with a grain of salt)

2. I guess no one is really interested in these poor people...
they are doing their best while being bombed to the stone age. The RW of the Israeli government are a bunch of total-fuckheads.

4. ....
On the bright side, it might have accomplished two very difficult things. Disarming Hezbollah, you say? Nope.

1. Truly uniting Lebanese. We were close before. Now, it seems we are even closer. Prime Minister Saniora is now a national hero, and will hopefully now have the support he needs to govern.

2. Racist Lebanese have stopped hating the Syrian people with all their hearts and souls. We still hate their political system, but before this Syrian workers had been murdered for the crime of their nationality. We know they didn't elect their government.
I still don't hate the Israeli people. But there is no way I'll ever be able to trust Israel, and there is no way I'll ever be able to feel comfortable with all of the rightwing, massacre apologists who pompously spout rhetoric at suffering people.

5. Did you read how they *want* us to invade Syria?
WHOA! After Iraq? If the President wasn't such a fucktard maybe Iraq would have turned out better. I guess he has a point. If the people of Syria have no weapons to overthrow their government, it is almost impossible for them to do so. Reading this has changed my perspective on the world.
