Again, take it easy on the assumptions and please refrain from generalising my dear. You neither know how I think or react, so don't make it sound like you do.

A lot of Lebanese are concerned about the way the government is running the country and they have legitimate concerns too....You should also listen to the Opposition in a receptive way, because you might be it in future, who knows..... Everybody has the right to be in the opposition to the government, nothing personal.......... Take it easy on the Context Hedley, just trying to be spontaneous

It was a response to a blog entry that dealt with a specific issue not the events of the previous day. Context is the key word here. Where in my post does it say we must be united only this time? Since we are clearly not united for the time being do you not think that our mutual grievance should bring us together? Or maybe you think we should stay divided and bicker among ourselves for political reasons whilst ignoring the big picture (big picture = people are dying in violent ways). Again remember the magic word "context". Take it easy on the assumptions Peace. It was a response to a blog entry that dealt with a specific issue not the events of the previous day.

Mr Aoun would be a bigger man if he stayed away from such despicable behaviour and took a position of support. Shame on him.

I've been wondering how March 8 would respond to all this. Is there any place I can read Aoun’s comments in English? I’ve been wondering how March 8 would respond to all this.
