dig you really think i would let get away with that?

why did you feel that you had to answer me, and try to one-up-me? you just described yourself in that witty comment of yours! YOU are taking this blog too seriously. well, maybe we both are. and please don’t tell me to behave; i will tell you to behave first.

just for the record: i am not really a banana, i’m a mawze.

now if you would just realize that michel aoun is not leader of the “orange” people, but that he is an actual, physical burtuqala, then all your confusion would dissipate and your problems, as well as all the problems of lebanon, would soon be over.

if you need with any other matters, just ask.

“you people”! i like that! you are so enlightened.
eh, if you haven’t noticed, i’m not a people, i’m a banana.”

I was trying to figure you out – thanks for the help.
This explains everything.

Tell me how that works out for you, bronx ghandi.

“…Rambo is just celluloid tough…”
That is perfectly right. The rambos of lebanon ran away to save their metrosexual denim jeans, electronic toys, and shiny automobiles.

I think that 15 years of civil war has given a lot of people “real training” so don’t sweat the training part. When the shit hits the fan again it’s going to provide Damascus and Tehran with a lot of additional parking lots. They are the ventriloquists with Hezbullah playing the dummy. Up until now it’s only been Lebanese blood, so the keepers don’t really care. Take advantage of the current technology in communications to try to get people to think outside the envelope of automatic weapons and RPGs – that’s where writing and speaking come in. The alternative approach, which has been used for so many years, doesn’t seem to be worth a shit based on the body counts, destroyed buildings, economic disaster and broken lives that it has brought. It might be a big order for a lot of people to think in terms of trying to keep Lebanon from becoming another failed country, but changing the minds of some just might help turn the tide. Rambo is just celluloid tough, Lebanon is made up of real people.

“The real men will do what they need to do.”

If you are in the Hezbullah camp (I apologize if that’s not so) I’m kind of lost as to what “real men” do. Since Nasrallah sets the priorities I decided to see what he does:

1- He rallies the troops for war over a video screen. No balls there.
2- He collects body parts. If the word “man” is used it should be preceeded by “sick”.
3- He builds his defenses, hides his weapons and places his troops right in there with the civilian population. Neat for propaganda purposes.
4- Since strategic thinking is done in Iran his keepers are not especially envious of his ability to think big.
5- He has ordered his troopers to kill fellow Lebanese.

You might want to check out a short poem by Rudyard Kipling called “If”. It’s not a bad place to start to get a description of “real men”.
