March 14 Not to Hold Popular Rally to Mark Anniversary of Cedar Revolution
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The March 14-led opposition will not hold a popular rally to mark the anniversary of the Cedar Revolution; instead it will hold a general assembly meeting.
Unlike all its popular rallies at downtown Beirut’s Martyrs Square held in previous years, the number of people attending the March 14, 2012 gathering will be limited because of the turmoil that took place in the Arab world over the past year.
According to An Nahar newspaper published on Wednesday, the March 14 forces fear that some of Syria’s allies in Lebanon might cause security problems during the event.
Sources told the daily that the meeting will include the professional, youth, political and all the civil society sectors affiliated with the March 14 coalition.
“The meeting will be in the form of a general assembly,” the sources said.
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea told reporters on Tuesday, that the March 14 leaders will meet in BIEL and propose a document on their vision.
The March 14 alliance was formed after the Feb. 2005 assassination of ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri marking the rise of the Cedar Revolution that forced the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon in April of that year.

We understand. These M14 are not insensitive. How can they celebrate when their Salafi, Wahhabi and Al Qaida brothers are being finished in Syria? Additionally, they may be missing while they went to the nousra of their bearded brothers and taking action on the ground to bring down the fall of the regime. Just look at what these warriors did for over 30 years in Lebanon: a mix of inviting the Syrians into Lebanon, handing the Syrians the keys to Beirut and to every other location, jumping into the arms of the Syrians at the height of the occupation while scheming against ebn baladon..., all actions that resulted in the defeat of the Syrian occupiers!!! Call them modern-day 3anaters. allahou akbar, allahou akbar, allahou akbar. allah, akbar, 7akim, wbass

It is a wise decision because the war of numbers of those who could go on the streets will never be won against those who could gather thousands of jobless people supported by the Iranian "clean money".
The enemy is ideologically motivated, is supported by the Iranian regime and draws from a large pool of Lebanese who were made dependent on Hezbollah's economical support or who are scared of Hezbollah's power.
Fighting this enemy will take a serious effort from the lebanese who should be united around the pursuit of building an independent and just nation.

mabye the bad weather has something to do with it haha.
M14 is infiltrated by too many muslims who love Saudi money, and some bad christian polititians. Overall they do want Lebanon first - but they also want to get paid for stuff on the side - which ultimately leads to their downfall.
The M8 camp is not better.... Basically Lebanon is full of bad politics

I don't think anyone doubts that you will serve him well .. u and your familia are used to serving masters and doing as you are told. I think though that you have better luck asking your master Hasan bernayta to ask his master Ahmedi bala najad to get you this money ... I'm sure Bassil will be more than happy to give it back to them
