Thats really great you’re encouraging your viewers to fight other Lebanese more tactifully. Do you see an end to this lame conflict.

Rest assured, the infighting has great reduced the prestige (if there was any) of Tripoly to the rest of Lebanon.

The fact this blog encourages war so openly gives doubt to it’s Lebanese authenticity. Keep it up.

The blue square you have about the sunni strong hold gives an impression of how sunnis are stronger and bigger. But the sunni’s from Tripoli who are willing to take arms and fight are much much more smaller. Alot of people in Tripoli are from middle classes and would flee Tripoli when things get nasty.

wb Mustapha. As you can tell from the first few comments, flies are feisty little assholes.

Mustapha,

For clarification purposes, is this post analyzing how the FM will think about such things, or are you suggesting to the FM how they SHOULD think about it?

The way the post was written is disturbing, but I’d rather give this blog the benefit of the doubt.

I don’t understand why “you” people get offended when one has to talk about war. What do you think is going on in Lebanon right now? It’s a strategic war played out by the so called opposition. When the army is incapable of security and you have one party with it’s weapons pointed at it’s people and you have a maniac like Aoun who still thinks he’s in 1989 (lest not forget he abandoned all of this followers) and playing the dirty deeds for the other’s on behalf of Christians, not sure what you call this? Let everyone know that if it weren’t for the Lebanese people there wouldn’t be a muqawame.. the people that suffered at the end and the people are suffering now.. Yes no one is perfect but it is evident that the opposition is indulging in a war of elimination, or let us call it a silent strategic war. The problem with “you, Lebanese people”, I’m generalizing of course, is that you all claim to love your country, you tell the whole world how smart our people are and how beautiful and hte oasis of the Middle East our country is when yet all of “you” are ostriges, you follow people.. you put pictures of people, you switch sides, back stab, sell your country (of course, you are smart merchants), and none of you love your country as you think you do. What about the environment, what about our culture? what about our beaches, our economy, our dignity? what about our land? does any one love his/her country? What kind of country you want to build when there is no system, there is no government, there is no independence? there is no loyalty? all of you are bunch of scrubs.. really wake up and come clean..

BTW welcome back :D

Mustapha,

Your post is pathetic: childish, immauture and totally unacceptable. I cannot believe you have sunk to this new, sectarian low by promoting the foolishness and horror of war. NO ONE in Lebanon wants war, whether its Hairri, Nasrallah, the chrisitians, even Israel and especially Abu Ahmed in Tripoli who like the rest of us is struggling to make a decent living in this chaotic country – war truly would be the end.

I am sunni and I live in Tripoli and i can tell we are just sick of all this rubbish going on – not knowing whether you are going to die or not. And I find it a shame that your post classes the whole alawaite sect here in Tripoli as ‘pro-syrian’, ’sinister’ – incredibly inappropriate. Most alawaites i know here like me could not give a damn about politics – daily life is too tough here to care for that rubbish. We all want out of this quagmire, through dialogue and not violence, and that’s what the wise Mufti of Tripoli and Shiek Saad said also.

To show you why Tripoli does not like typical lebanese politicians, especially our our own, look at Mr mohammed Safadi, a so-called “M14 Hariri ally”, who spends half his time in Damascus and praises HA’s so-called resistance! Thats why politics in this country will never work. Mr Aoun was a hero here until those moron fundementalist idiots we have running around causing havoc here condemned him as an ‘anti-sunni’ infidel. Though Mr Karami’s powerbase has reduced here (but will explode back up when he hands out his intermitittent ‘assistance packagaes for the needy’), his brother, Rashid Karami, killed by a person claiming to be Shiek Saad’s ally yet murderously detested by Tripoli’s townfolk, is still seen as a hero – thats how things work here.

Let Al Mustaqbal stay in beirut, HA in the south, Gageage in Bcharre, Aoun in Kesrouan and Jumblatt in the Chouf – Tripoli has always been ignored by all these parties (mostly to our detriment) but considering what is happening I say Tripoli says no to politics.

Peace people, and lets forget this worthless sabre-rattling :)

I could have never said it better mr “Ashamed Of Your Blog”…I’m a Sunni from Tripoli,and i could have never said it better…..Thanx for speaking for me….
