Berri: Cedar Revolution Set Lebanon Back 60 Years Legally, Demographically
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Speaker Nabih Berri on Monday expressed his belief that “the Cedar Revolution has set Lebanon back 60 years legally and demographically, squandered public money, and provided the suitable atmosphere for further foreign intervention in Lebanon’s present and future.”
“This is the reason behind its failure,” Berri noted in a speech at a ceremony organized by the International Intellectual Conference to honor late Shiite clerics Mohammed Makki al-Jizzini and Zeineddine al-Jabhi.
Berri said recent visits to Lebanon by foreign officials were aimed at “using our country as a platform for undermining Syria.”
But he went on to say: “We are reassured that the Syrian army knows its national duties regarding the safeguarding of the borders and that Syria does not have a history of sectarian conflict.”
“The recent events in Syria have opened the door for a second Corrective Movement that should be led by President Bashar al-Assad,” Berri added.
“The political behavior of some parties has made us realize that some people are trying to defy geography and create frontlines in the North with Syria,” Berri said.
On a separate note, he stressed that “Shiite Arabs, especially the Lebanese, will not fall into the sectarian trap or be dragged into civil strife.”
“We in Lebanon will be the keenest on national unity and the coexistence formula,” Berri noted.

He's right.
60 years ago, Lebanon was in much better shape than it is today.
We didn't have scum like him in a position of power.

يا استيذ نبيه، انت الذي سرقت وما زلت تسرق أموال الشعب
من مجلس الجنوب. انت الذي عطل الديمقراطية بإقفال المجلس
النيابي..... انت عدو الديمقراطية والحرية وعدو الشعب السوري
الحبيب المناضل الذي يقتله صاحبك المجرم وحش الشام.
يا استيذ، انت بري وستبقي بري.

Very true, and had it not been for G. Aoun, the cedar revolution would have brought about the end of Christian presence in Lebanon (since M14 Christians are subordinates to the subordinates of the Saudis)

Funny Bi Det, all of M14 now sound like the Christians of M14 sounded before M14 05.On the other hand Aoun sounds like Hezballah on M8 and before. He has to after the deal he made with the Syrians when he was in Paris,. they let him keep the money he embezzled and return to Lebanon and he became what Patriarch Rahi called their tool.

I hope you didn't dig too hard to come up with your comment Mr. bigdigg. In order for me to believe that we can still build a country with a knowledgeable people I am hoping that you just posted a satirical comment. If not then you are going to need 60 years of rehab and education to get to the average intellect of normal Lebanese people aka (to break it down to you: "a"lso "k"nown "a"s) non-March 8 people. Please tell me you didn't mean your comment. Thanks.

Cedar Revolution was Lebanon's best hope for genuine democracy and civility. It liberated Lebanon from Syrian occupation and educated oppressed Arabs and Iranians on effective peaceful demonstrations. The Cedar Revolution would have succeeded if it wasn't for Assad and Ahmadinajad's hired assassins represented by the Lebanese Basij, Amal and their useful idiots. Lebanon, the flame of freedom and democracy has been transformed by Hizbollah and Amal into a satellite of the region's worst two tyrants and extinguished freedom and free thinking. Beri and Nassrallah have led the Shia to the abyss and have made Shia stranger to their own culture and traditions. The game ios over!

No, the Cedar Revolution put Berri back 60 years, not Lebanon. Lebanon, post 2005, except for the summer of 2006 has seen its biggest tourist seasons ever. With the tourism sector being one of the largest, the vote of people with their investments speaks louder than Mr. Snake here can.
He is one to complain of others using Lebanon as a platform for their foreign agendas. Berri has virtually opened the door, along with Hezbollah to Syria and Iran to use Lebanon as a platform for Syrian and Iranian agendas in Lebanon, which agendas are harmful to Lebanon and to the Lebanese.
He is now like Jumblatt, having been all over the political map with his statements, his statements are devalued into nothingness. Nasrallah too, is becoming this way. It is the Michel Aoun disease, whose statements are also worthless since at any given time he has said any and everything. Those joined to Aoun seem to contract his penchant for losing relevance.
