المتحاورن اجتمعوا تحت قبة البرلمان وقوى الامن اشتبكت مع متظاهرين واعتقلت العشرات منهم

I wonder why,the voters keep on voting for, and supporting the same people...

They are so scared of the protesters that they are using disproportionate force against them. There will be no peace until the whole mafia is down and out, both M14 and M8. It's been 10 years now, what have they solved other than being at each others throats? Nothing seems to faze them, not even the impending disaster looming over the rain clouds. They care less, cholera or any other form of sicknesses that will afflict the people, all they are after is power and power. If the people don't revolt, then Lebanon is doomed.

Yes the-roar good point i always say that .

Later in the day, young men claiming to be supporters of Berri attacked protesters at the camp and destroyed their tents over alleged insults against the parliament speaker.

Riot police intervened after a second attack was waged and at least one of the assailants was arrested.

TV footage showed the attackers hurling chairs and rocks at the protesters of whom several were injured.

The problem, of course, is that the same people participate in this "National Dialogue" as who created the crisis in government that caused this dialogue to come about. They are all arsonists first and firemen second. They are the cause of the problem trying to effect a solution to the problems they caused. Of course the reasons which motivated them to create the crisis persist and therefore they are not proper agents to fashion any sort of solution. They are not motivated to create solutions, only to persist in creating crises.

I can not believe that some love a politician so much that they would hurt another person. How stupid can you be. To be a politician is to be a criminal in Lebanon. People don't trust these war lords they will throw rock at you even as you try to defend them. Your future and lebanons future should not be in their hands. Cut all their hands off, M8 and 14. Start fresh and clean. This country needs a fresh start. The politicians only care about themselves. Really in 2015 we still don't have electricity all day. Come every body wake up. They all suck stink and hate us all!!!!

Who is ordering the police to act disproportionately? Is it the minister of the interior, or the leader of a well known militia? All in all, the protesters are facing many enemies in power and in power illegally. It has started with the trash issue, but it will end with a much bigger issue.

Typical Lebanese behaviour, democracy in that part of the world is like the other countries around it.

Your Constitution is the problem. The Taif Agreement also. Unfortunately you will have to force these bums out. They are like Abbbas in the West Bank and depend on foreign benefactors to stay in power. They use the Constitution to justify the paralysis of the state after extending their rule illegally while at the same time they say new elections are impossible. When you boil the water out of the pan, even if you think Aoun is corrupt and a horrible man, what he is proposing is the only way forward at this point or else you will face Civil War. The Hezbollah / al Mustaqbal dialogue is the only thing preventing the dissolution of your state and it serves their own interests and keeps them from shooting at each other. Meanwhile the status quo remains and here comes winter. You , the People, will have to put fear in Parliamentarians until they realize that if they don't allow elections they will be punished in the street. And then sent to prison. Hard time.

I agree that lots of our polititians are rot, corrupted, etc... Also you can find some who are devoted to serve their country, who are clean hands (either talking of blood stained or money stolen).
By the same talking people are deeply divided in politics. Among people demonstrating you can find the honest and the criminal or violent. You can find the good intention ones looking for a better life and the thugs serving their parties.
Just imagine if dialogue stops leaving people to find solutions! I bet that the winners will be the thugs serving their parties and the criminal and violent persons. The peaceful ones no matter how good their intention is will flee away and if they can overseas.
It is better to leave these polititians find some provisional solutions and make them accountable in the next elections as I am sure that the majority of people will be losers in the CHAOS but winners in the elections. If I cannot fight my oppressor I wait patiently to stab him when I can.
