الحريري عبر "تويتر": عندما ينتهي الاستقواء بالسلاح حزب الله لن يكون أقوى من الدولة

A- on building on public and private property: I am personally against this. however, one needs to note that all illegal squatting in the south entrance of Beirut is done by people from the south and the bekaa. they have their homes in their initil villages and they are not from beirut.
B- on the arms issue: until when are we supposed to accept that thugs put ordinary citizens lives at risk for stupid matters? these thugs covered by amal and hizbushaitan have to surrender their weapons to the state.
C- On the syrian issue: yes Bashar will fall, but it seems it will not happen before the total destruction of syria and lebanon.

just a note: please if you want to comment or have a say on the above, have your comment to the point and not stupid insults.

The destruction of Lebanon depends on the lebanese and only the lebanese. Let no one fool you into believing that whatever happens in Syria happens in Lebanon. Now we shall see what the lebanese will do, this is the moment of truth: Stay neutral and patriotic or follow X/Y/Z

@geha I agree with you, but it always worries me how and if Hezbollah will give up their weapons. I'm worried that they won't hand in their weapons, but there will have to be an internal struggle to remove them of their weapons. Although, I believe the future is bright for Lebanon, especially with the hope of a reformed electoral system and possibility of ex-patriates being able to vote at Lebanese embassies in their country.

@James
I wish I had the same good lookup for a bright future :)
these thugs will only give up their weapons after a major destrutive war with israel of tremendous proportions we have never seen before.

@geha I think Boutrous Harb proposed an interesting solution a few years ago, which was incorporating Hezbollah into the Lebanese army. I doubt it would work, although it would be excellent if it did.

@james @geha @george i think this is the most construtive conversation i've ever seen on this website. You guys are giving and taking back and forward in a very civil matter. if only our politicians can do that and if only the brainwashed can wake up and see what they are doing! cheers keep it up

I agree totally: it would work if intentions were purely lebanese for these parties.

I only respect one action Hezbollah has ever done, and that was liberating the people of South Lebanon from the Israeli Occupation. Now that they have liberated our land, they have no legal reason to keep arms. Only a true Lebanese will understand that no matter if you belong to 14 March or March 8, there is no country in the world that wants to support Lebanon. Not Israel, not Syria, not Iran, not any of the Arab states and not America. We need to be loyal to eachother first, before we start allying with foreign nations

we need those so called leaders of ours to have a lebanese viewpoint first :)

@geha I don't know what being Lebanese anymore means.. I think we need to have a unified definition of our identity by the 'so called leaders' and take it from there

@naderaln
for me, being Lebanese means think firstly about the needs of Lebanon, and not palestinian/syrian/iranian/arab/us/european needs.
simply put, do what is best for lebanon. and here we need to think out of the box, as cliches that have been imposed on us for so many years, actually mean nothing.
the enemy, as history has shown us, is everybody not lebanese.
friends, are those who assist us in doing what WE decide is best for lebanon.

As usual you little demon try to twist the meaning of what is said :)
n, not all shia are iranians, and yes shias are lebanese as much as I am for that matter.
and yes hizbushaitan are iranian.
is it clear now?

So cheikh Tweety starts with an erroneous premise that Hizbullah is stronger than the state. He is correct when he means that Hizbullah is standing up to cheikh Tweety's and his regional and international masters' friends, the Israelis, aka Lebanon's enemies. No wonder cheikh Tweety's masters picked him to lead a flock of dumbos, mainly because of his malleable nature, like a dough in the shape of a brainless man.

Actually geha, most shias came here from iran, bhrain and saudi arabia. They are not lebanese. How would shhiism end up in lebanon if not by invading shiite foreigners who stayed and settled lebanon by stealing land from maronites. The south used to be maronite and now look at it, 99% shiite while the original southners ended up in other places out of persucution.
