Chapter Nine - My last days in the countryAt this point I wanted to make a short excursion into Syria, to visit some friends I had made during my trip last May. Back at Beirut's Cola taxi stand, I got out of the bus, and accidentally (?) was exactly at the right spot for service taxi thither. It cost $10 only. Unfortunately I must have been around at the wrong day, at the wrong time, because it to
Chapter Eight - The extreme South - An interesting journeyHaving arrived at Saida's Sahet en-Nejmeh, the city's main square, I needed to find the only hotel in town, the Nazel esh-Sharq (Hotel d'Orient). I asked around. One man said he knew where it was and offered to drive me there. It wasn't far, but it would have been almost impossible to find, as I don't speak Arabic and the hotel's sign is in
Chapter Seven - The Chouf Mountains - Home of the DruzeThe next day I left the Palmyra Hotel in Baalbek. I took a minibus to Chtaura (LL 3000; to Zahlé is strangely enough only LL 1000). I wanted to go to Beiteddine directly (I really hated having to go via Beirut), so had to take a taxi. I asked several taxi drivers but not one wanted to negotiate the 30 bucks they wanted for the ride. They didn
Chapter Six - Baalbek and the Bekaa ValleyThere are no direct service taxis to Baalbek. You have to get one to Beirut first (LL 10,000) and change there to another (LL 10,000). I took a direct taxi (LL 50,000) because I wanted to go via the high mountain pass and take some pictures on the road. It was a nice drive with some spectacular views, really worth paying the extra bucks for. In winter this
Chapter Five - The culmination of Lebanon's mountain sceneryThe following morning I went to Bcharré. At a certain point the road runs about 20 kilometres along the Kadisha Valley, an impressive, beautiful wide gorge of nearly 50 kms long. One passes through several small villages, some of which are worth a look (e.g. Ehden). The viewpoints are often stunning, and at some places it's worthwhile to
Chapter Four - Welcome to the Middle East: TripoliI managed to hitch to Tripoli. Arriving there was like arriving in the 'real' Middle East, the Middle East I was used to. The muezzin calling to prayer, dirty streets with road-side stalls crowded with people, many of them Muslim women in long robes, extremely friendly people when asking for directions or just when passing by... God, I loved it !I
Chapter Three - Byblos and its surroundingsWhilst looking for Hotel Ahiram, one of the only two hotels in town, I noticed what a nice city this was : lovely houses and churches, cosy narrow streets, a delightful seafront and everything very clean. I loved it on first sight, and I didn't regret it one bit having to say good-bye to the Faraya landlady.A (single) room in Hotel Ahiram was $45 plus $2.
Chapter Two - Around Beirut - Some interesting attractionsBeit Meri is a hill resort at a height of about 800 meters. The views of Beirut are pretty good, but houses built at the sides of the streets often obstruct these. I got out of the taxi at the central roundabout and went looking for the churches, ruins and mosaics. Nobody could really help, so I just asked for the al-Bustan Hotel, which was

On this trip, I re-challenged the monster log pile, and it bit back pretty hard. My bike nearly cleared the top when I lost momentum and hit a bigger log.

Instead of recovering gracefully, my bike tilted sideways and I fell of the edge. My metal bike pedals dug into one side of

UAE ambassador lays foundation stone for South Lebanon center Daily Star - Lebanon - Beirut,LebanonBy Mohammed Zaatari AL-ZALLOUTIYEH: United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ambassador to Lebanon Sultan bin Youssef al-Soueidi reiterated his country's support for Lebanon, while laying the foundation stone for an events center in Al-Zalloutiyeh in South Lebanon on Satarday.
Paraphrasing what the foreign minister of Israel (Livni) said last week: "Don't even think of attacking Iran, and don't even whisper the idea". In the article I read it mentioned an Iranian ballistic missile taking 11 minutes to hit Israel, The Iranians have also said they have radar evading missiles. It is all hard to believe for me the layman. But it is nice to hear some sobering words like: "Do
Israeli actions in Lebanon (2006) were based upon military experiences with Palestinians in Israel.

Georgia didn't work, and was based upon attacking civilian centres which can also resemble Israeli actions.
None of the above worked!
Now the Iranian blockade is no doubt based on Israeli practices and it probably won't w
The Syrian and Lebanese presidents met in Damascus to discuss the Lebano-Syrian relationships. Word is that both parties are even considering a demarcation of their borders, which should be one step closer to ending the long-held grudge between the two nations that were, once, one.

I have stated that the nation of Lebanon no longer exists. It has been replaced by Hizbanon. The fact the Fuad Saniora and Walid Jumblatt showed up to welcome Samir Kuntar displays this fact.

I can't believe that at last Michel Soliman will be the President of Lebanon at last and I can't believe that Presidential palace will receive him with his family tomorrow.

Today is a day which we should mark on the calendar and remember for a long time.

Tak sengaja ku temukan artikel menarik. ”Mufti Pengunungan LEBANON: HEZBULLAH sama bahayanya dengan ISRAEL”, itulah judul tulisan tersebut.
Dari tulisan tersebut nampak sekali bahwa penulis ingin memperburuk citra Hizbullah.

News :Today the Arab Foreign ministers are going to meet to Cairo to discuss too late as usual the Lebanese crisis, I do not know what they can do , already the millions Saudi Arabia spent to help the 14th of March parties against Hezbollah did not do anything. The signal of the Future TV channels on the Nile Sat is back , but without broadcasting; only a white screen with a message informing the viewers that they will return so soon. Al Arabiya officially in the last 48 hours became the spokesperson of the 14th of March against Hezbollah in the region. Al Jazeera somehow was neutral. Hezbollah's Al Manar was so clever to air quotes from the late Hariri SR over and over as the martyr Hariri said in their promos.

I know officially Lebanon got no Defense minister but still officially they follow the cabinet , but they do not actually and this is the best thing because if they followed the orders of this cabinet , Lebanon instead of walking,stopping and avoiding the civil war route will be jumping madly to it.

My knowledge of Lebanon is extremely limited. But the events unfolding there right now have regional and international significance.
The BBC reports that Hezbollah has taken over West Beirut.
Gunmen from the Shia militant group Hezbollah have seized most of western Beirut, driving out supporters of the Western-backed government. The gunmen, who also back Hezbollah's Shia opposition allies, have forced the closure of pro-government media. The opposition said it would maintain roadblocks around Beirut until there was a solution to the political crisis.
At least 11 people, mainly civilians, have been killed and dozens injured in the city in three days of clashes.
The fighting was sparked by a government move on Monday to shut down Hezbollah's telecoms network. The UN Security Council has
The Lebanese government has decided to declare the Hizbullah’s telecommunication network llegal which has caused the organization’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah to make clear his intention of fighting Lebanese efforts to curtail his operations. “Those who try to arrest us, we will arrest them.

By the start of 2007, reports about major upgrades to the Syrian military, including advances in missile technology, with Iranian help were widespread in Israel. The impression of an imminent war existed across much of the Middle East. Syria, Hezbollah, and Iran were reported in Israel to be preparing for a war to spark in the Levant. It was also claimed in Israel that Damascus had sent secret messages to Tel Aviv that should Israel continue to reject Syria's peace overtures, a war would breakout in the Golan Heights and that Syrian reservists were forbidden from leaving Syria because of the possibility of combat. In June, 2007, an inner circle of the Israeli government that would form a "war cabinet" in a Middle Eastern war scenario was categorically informed that a war

Counterterrorism Blog -- It shouldn't surprise us if we find that the Shiite militias have prepared for the same type of warfare engaged in by their Hezbollah cousins in 2006, using Iranian arms, IRGC advisers and trainers, and similar tactics.The obvious difference between Lebanon 2006 and Iraq 2008 is the direct action in Iraq by the U.S. military, who are now far more efficient in counterinsurgency and urban warfare than the Israelis were entering the 2006 conflict. Did the Shiite militia desire such a reaction? Is that why they shelled the Green Zone so early in the conflict with the Iraqi army, to draw the Americans in and inject more uncertainty over Iraq into the 2008 election cycle?Shiite militia leaders have already achieved one strategic goal: they showed Pentagon planners and Am
Scientists have found the faint genetic traces left by medieval crusaders in the Middle East. The team says it found a particular DNA signature which recently appeared in Lebanon and is probably linked to the crusades. The finding comes from the Genographic Project, a major effort to track human migrations through DNA. The researchers detected that some Christian men in Lebanon carry a DNA signature hailing from Western Europe. The scientists also found that Lebanese Muslim men were more likely than Christians to carry a particular genetic signature. But this one is linked to expansions from the Arabian Peninsula which brought Islam to the area in the 7th and 8th Centuries. But they emphasize that the differences between the two communities are minor, and that Christians and Muslim Ar
In reviewing the action this week between Iraqi forces and Shiite militia, it's instructive to compare press accounts of this conflict to reports from the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel conflict in Lebanon, as posted or discussed on this website.

Hezbollah's grip over Lebanon is increasing by the day. And the West does not seem ready to stop this freight train any longer.The Croissant just reported the following two stories that prove how Hezbollah is planning its "coup": Did Hezbollah arrest UNIFIL’s commander, a few weeks ago? Iran provides armored cars to Hezbollah.While Lebanon is without a president for now, it looks like a favorite is quickly emerging: Lebanon army chief and Damascus ally General Michel Sleiman. If he were to be elected, the winner would not only be Syria, but more importantly Hezbollah.In fact, unsurprisingly Hezbollah has been planning and implementing a secret coup for some time using a multi-pronged strategy.First with a smart political weapon. Against all odds Hezbollah struck a deal with Christian heavyweight and formerly anti-Syrian leader, General Michel Aoun. This was the initial step in creating a major division within Lebanon's Christian community.But that was just the beginning. Hezbollah
Despite what happened in Lebanon from couple of days from a terrible terrorist act against Commander El-Hajj all people put hopes that the troubled country will have Peaceful happy Eid and Christmas and Michel Soliman will become the new president but this seems as a very faraway impossible dream First of all we were happy that all the parties after the murder of Hajj declared in one unified voice that they would stand together and continue changing the constitution in order to bring Soliman to Baaba Palace in order to fight and conquer the terrorism to the end of this revolutionary words mostly from the 14th of March group ,Ironically I found some interesting facts that make me feel that El-Hajj was not their favourite kind of man at all Already if anyone wants to distort the Presidential election ,then he should target Soliman not someone expected to fill his place in the army ,it is by logic !!! El-Hajj murder in my belief has another explanation ,I would rather prefer to dedicate

Surely this is the first blast from its kind in Lebanon judging the target in it who was Brig. Gen.
