معراب "تعيد النظر بالموقف من حلفائها" ولقاءات لـ14 آذار "لتأكيد وحدتها"

obstruction and confrontation, that's all he's good for. when one side closes all doors to cohabitation, he leaves only one possible outcome.

Mowaten u are being double standard. Geagea gave up his weapons in 90 and stopped the heroic christian.resistance against pals and Syrians.
Why doesn't the HA milicia drop its weapons too?

LOL.... Taef exempted HA from handing its weapons?!!!! Was there even HA when Taef was inked!!!LOL

For the sake of remotely appearing credible, please post the Taef article that refers to HA keeping its weapons.

for the same reason people should not waste their time and listen to your propaganda.

@-_Flamethrower_-, I have a copy of the Taef and nowhere in the text of the document does it state HA is exempt. You may fabricate exemptions to your heart's content to suit your desire to justify your fantasy but it will never make HA weapons legitimate. If your copy of the Taef says something different then the one I have, please share it with the rest of us or stop your rampant truth twisting. It is simply dishonest and you know it.

@jabal10452, can you please provide a link to the text as that exempts HA? The one I have contradicts what you are saying! Please this is important, if I am wrong I like to know and learn and I will admit I am wrong:

http://www.al-bab.com/arab/docs/lebanon/taif.htm

@jabal; nonsense, sorry! Every country has the right to liberate its land through resistance or any available means not only in Taef but also in international law. It does not mean it has to be HA.

Bandoul sorry I did not see your post until now. First off, I am the one who was a little too quick to write "specifically". Hezhollah is not specifically named in Taef, but article C says " Taking all the steps necessary to liberate all Lebanese territories from the Israeli occupation ...." and this is what Hezbollah argued as sufficient reason to remain armed back then, and the argument was accepted by the state that classified HA as resistance (this is why HA is officially referred to a "Resistance" and as "militia"). Now HA still claims that Lebanon is not liberated (Shebaa) and therefore their arms as still legal. And this is why Syria still resists delivering documentation that Shebaa is Lebanese. Why? because Shebaa is probably Syrian. But should Syria admit to it, HA's weapons would become illegal. Again, not trying to wiggle out of this. My fault for writing a little too fast. Mea culpa.

And NOT as "militia"*

lol ok and that too)

lol keep dreaming. in the mean time, the fake doctor is rotting alone in maarab.

Mowaten. He is hardly rotting in Maarab. He is stating his political position, and backing it with totally civilized, legal and democratic action. He should be proud. Whether you agree with his politics or not, you know where he stands, and he is not willing to compromise his stance just to have a seat at the ministerial table.

legal maybe, but civilized and democratic definitely not.

democracy means including everyone and not trying to eliminate rivals but he refuses all possibilities of cohabitation and discussion.

lol at the paid mouthpiece! does your democratic militia which claims it is defending Lebanon include everyone in its pursuit of democracy? LOL

mowaten,
Democratic does mean everyone
but everyone does not include armed thugs and outlaws 9ie. HA and others like them).

Mowaten: The LF didn't obstruct anything. They just chose not to play this game, and accepted that the show goes on without Them. They neither burned tires nor fired shots in the air in outrage. They just accepted that in a democracy, if you can't beat your opponents and you have fundamental differences with them, your only option is to stay out of government. They oppose Hezbollah with words, not arms. If you can't call this civilized, I don't know what is.

I am always amused when the mowatens of this world talk of democracy. Democracy calls for including everyone in the democratic process that results in the formation of the executive branch of governance. Once that is done, democracy calls for submitting to the will of the majority and not using arms and intimidation to reverse the will of the people. Please, don't quote me your infamous popular vote results. Your party accepted the results of the elections.

One comment. In which democratic country does a govt include EVERYONE? Democracy is the winning team ruling. In the US, do democrats have the blocking third in the cabinet if a republican wins? How about in Canada? With the liberals and the conservatives? Britain? France? ANY? Your definition of democracy is skewed.

nice compliments coming from you, mowaten)

You have a very unhealthy obsession with mowaten popeye. Yout paranoia is understandable given you operate multiple mouthpieces ))

jabal. in theory u are right.

in practice it all depends on the future behavior of sunni and chiite bearded cartoon characters.
