If we want others to investigate when lebanese are killed abroad, then why dont we do the same when foreigners are killed in lebanon? ie those who come from poor countries. If the white man or a rich arab is slightly harmed then all of a sudden we have a police force but when poor people are murdered, tortured, raped then nobody cares or does anything.

Lets pretend we care Mr. Mansour. Armed thugs are killing and kidnapping innocent citizens every day and no one cares. Hundreds of Lebanese are dying in Syrian jails and you kiss their hand every week..... go fly a kite Mr. Foreign Minister.
