Don't say pro-Syrian ,it is not about Syria

First of all I must thank my dear Lebanese friend Layal for correcting something to me ,something I was confused because of it ,but now I understand better and I hope that I clear this misunderstanding which I am sure most westerns have thanks to their media

The western media always like to label the opposition forces in Lebanon as the Pro-Syrian forces , but they are not really a pro-Syrian forces , or they gather because they want Syria to come back on the contrary ,people tend to forget that the Michel Aoun as I hinted before stood against Syria in the American congress and according to Layal the man is well known for his non changing views

Already he is seeking a normal relations with everyone and as

they are seeking more independence from international forces

Already they want a government that doesn't take its decision from the American Embassy nor the French Embassy like the current one.

It is as if they substituted the Syrian control with the American -French one !!!

Yes they are pro-Syrian leaders like Soliman Franjiah and Talaal Arslan in the opposition but they are not the moving forces in the rally or even have enough power in the street like the Free National Stream of General Aoun whether in Franjiah's sect "Christian" or Arslan 's sect "Druz"

Considering these protests as a pro-Syrian is just like the statements of Mubarak interfere in others' countries business and creating an international crisis and problem from a local one

This is not a pro-Syrian ,Pro-Iranian protest

This is a Lebanese Protest

More of irresponsible statements !!??

 It seems President Hosni Mubarak always say irresponsible statements when It comes to Lebanon

Link to Al-ManarTV:: Mubarak warns against internationalizing crisis in Lebanon; US accuses Iran, Syria of seeking to destabilize Lebanon 02/12/2006

in Arabic Mubarak Criticizes the protests

Mubarak warns from the internationalization not that only our President warns from a sectorial division

He said the following wise words

"If this continues "protests" from Hezbollah side against El-Seniora , People from Outside [Lebanon] will come and support him "

 What does he mean ?? really all the news agencies and news channel highlighted that statement which he said in the press conference with the Russian foreign minister

Who will come ?? and what they will do ??

Does he mean an international force ?? wow it would be just like in 1958 when Kameel Shamon asked for American aid ,against ironically Nasser !!

You know this is a confession

A frank confession that El-Seniora got no supporters from inside and thus his supporters from outside will come to rescue him !!

But doesn't this mean that he lost his legitimate position as he got no more supporters from inside !! and thus he shouldn't stay anymore !!

Look it is more than being an ally to the United States and more than Iran and this axis game

It is the fear

It is Mubarak's fear that one day he will find himself against million of Egyptians protesting against him calling for freedom of choice

Man that scene is his worst nightmare to be imitated by Egyptians

So this must be stopped at any cost ,if the opposition succeeds in downing the current Cabinet in Lebanon , he will be in danger "I wish so much " and thus he wishes for external help because that's what he will depend upon

But he shouldn't put all his hopes upon this western American help because they didn't do much with the Shah of Iran ,did they ??

Another thing why he just considered the protests are from the Shiite sect only in specific Hezbollah despite there is Amal and there is also the Christian sect presented by Michel Aoun and Soliman Franjiah !!

Guys this is irresponsible statement which the Egyptian Embassy in Beirut is trying to re-shape to re beautify it shows that is man is no longer capable to control what comes from his mouth to judge it whether it can make problems or not ,for God Sake he is a president who will stay to the last heart beat !!

From Lebanon and to Lebanon Dedicated to all those great Lebanese people :)

A look to the Lebanese protest : All in one

 For the second day the Lebanese people are still protesting and are doing rallies in order to down  the current Seniora cabinet , Beirut Public squares are full of supporters from all opposition parties ,from all sects are there in Riyad El-Solah square ,in The Martyrs square

The Shiite sect presented with the supporters of Amal "Nabih Barry" and Hezbollah "Hassen Nasrallah"

The Christian sect presented with Michel Aoun and Soliman Franjiah

The Doruz sect presented by Prince Talaal Arsalan

And all other opposition members from the Pro-Syrian camp in Lebanon

Link to Al Jazeera English - Middle East "great English site for great English News channel"

All for one , for one aim to down El-Seniora cabinet and to a have a national unity government that presents all the sects in Lebanon

Lebanon now is on the edge , the Seniora refuses to leave by depending on the so-called international support foolishly ,the support as usual comes from the United States, the west and their allies in the middle east above them Saudi Arabia and official Egypt !!

It is strange because as I said before it is the same west which respected and supported the rallies and protests of the so-called the Ciders revolution and called the Rashid Karami and president Lahoud to step down on the request of those public rally ,so why there are double standards

Anyway G.W. Bush said an important remark today I don't know if he meant it or it was just another one of his honest unaccepted remarks when he described the protests as a civilian coup as I heard on Al-Jazeera ,I believe from that statement the American administration is scared despite all the powers it posses it can't stand against the street powers

What makes me so angry is the silly statements of the 14th of March leaders regarding the protestors , you know that I stood in this blog defending the Lebanese people in the cider revolution and how I admire their coverage and their struggle to take back their freedom and independence from the Syrian control , but now those leaders who were from one year taking the same streets and public squares are disrespecting and underestimating these protests and these people who are staying in the cold weather insisting of their demands

They shouldn't not be disrespected from beks like Walid Bek and Shekih Saad

For example

Marwan Hamada saying on TV

"They are mostly welcome to stay but we won't leave !!"

Saad El-Hariri on the American "El-Haraa" channel beside his usual talk about the tribunal of his late father

"No matter how long they stay in the street , this will not bring down the government "

 

Anyway I believe this protest is getting stronger and stronger and El-Seniora won't stay more in his office ,otherwise why in hell he kept calling from here and there presidents like Hosni Mubarak to interfere , whom by his turn called Nabih Barry in order to calm things down

I don't think that Iran and Syria control Lebanon as the United States right now , first of all I believe the existence of the Christian free Lebanese stream gives a creditability to the neutral of this opposition ,we all know that Michel Aoun was the winning card for the United States when he stood in the Congress in testifying against the Syrian regime condemning its control over Lebanon and I remember that the congress 's decision was the base in which 1559 came from , Aoun is a wise man as soon as Syria left and he returned back ,he began to think about the benefit and strength of his country and what makes me believe so is his idea of joining Hezbollah arms in to the Lebanese army to give it a strength

By the way there are new remarks I must hint to it today

I like the appearance of Aoun and the two Hezbollah's MPs behind him 

On the right and on the left "courtesy of Al-Jazeera"

I like so much the Quotes public ad in the Manar TV "Hezbollah TV" , they were clever enough to choose quotes from the leaders of all the Lebanese sects across the history ,the first ones were those who were killed in the last couple of years of George Hawi and Rafik El-Hariri and all those leaders are thought to be assassinated by the Syrian regime like Omar Karami, Kamal Junbolt, Renee Mowad , all the Quotes chosen are about the Unity of Lebanon

Clever media campaign , not sect slogans, no other flag except the cider flag , no other anthem except "we are for the flag"

The opposition camp is sending a message saying to the whole world

We are a Lebanese 100% opposition ,we are not Syrian or Iranian supported opposition

Another thing I liked yesterday the Wise words of Michel Aoun about the Sunni Sect

You see some mostly the American administration supporters want Lebanon to be another Iraq ,to have another Sunni-Shiite with a little bit of Christian sect conflict again , you know the old British policy "Divide conquer" ,well it seems that some are spreading rumors in Lebanon especially in the powerful Sunni sect that this opposition is targeted against the Sunni ,Aoun made crystal clear that they are never against the Sunni sect ,they just don't want Fouad El-Seniora as prime minister , and instead they want Selim El-Hos

By the way I believe El-Hos is better than El-Seniora ,already today the Ambassador of the K.S.A made an interesting visit to him in his house

Anyway let's the days prove who is the stronger and who will stay in his place

I was born in Doha

Yes I was born in Doha and I am proud of that especially after the magnificent opening of the 17th Asian games in Doha , Qatar

A great opening

an opening that you can see in the opening of the Olympics , wonderful full of meaning

And full of respect to Qatar's simple history and culture

Full of respect of our Arabic culture

Full of respect of the Asian Culture

I can't describe how happy I am with it

So impressive

The wonderful music ,I don't know if it were made by Marcel Khalifa or not

The wonderful songs ,the Indian lady and "Light my way " with Magida El-Roumy and Jose something

The wonderful fire works , the organizing ,the dancing ,everything

It is an Arab pride

All Arabs should be proud of it

Among the things I liked in that opening is the torch

When the son of Prince Khalifa , who heads some team I believe in horse games section "I am sorry my games info is not as good as my historical info" took it and headed to the place of it by his own beautiful Arabian horse , over a staircase ,a high one with his horse ,I swear I was scared in one point that the horse would fall ,oh boy I can't describe it

I don't care if that guy over the horse ,that knight was the son of Emir or a guard but he is one hell of knight to control in his horse like that

Bravo Qatar ,Bravo

Can you please tell why we can't make such a great opening in all previous sports events held in Egypt ?

Don't tell me because of money ,as I usually hear that we spent millions on stupid fiascos called opening ceremonies that ended with President's photos here and there !!
