@Jaafar: Why the insults? Why? Why can't you debate with P.J without exhibiting these anger tantrums! If you want to be the father figure on this forum, you need to stay away from sectarian rhetoric and embrace others as if they were your own. I am not going to vote you down this time in the hope my advice will be an incentive for you to improve your online social skills.

Even our Hospitals are owned and named after our Mafia heads......
Jumblat Hospital, Berri Hospital, Harriri Hospital, HA Hospital, ...... I miss the old days when our hospitals were secular and non-political.
Please leave something to Lebanon .....
