Long overdue change in Lebanon. Now what can be done for the thousands upon thousands of expatriate Lebanese Christians who were forced out by the Syrians and Palestinians? What can be done for the families of the thousands and thousands of Lebanese Christians who were killed? Will anyone other than Syria have a say in who leads the next government?
I should add that Lebanese expatriate Christians I have met hate the Syrians and Palestinians with a passion and are very pro-America and pro-Israel.
All I can say is WoW! And keep my fingers crossed..........
The decision marks the first time in modern history an Arab government falls in the wake of popular pressure.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people gathered outside the parliament building and waved Lebanese flags in celebration.
And John Kerry was heard to say: "Let's not over-hype this event."
Strategerie works!
the lebanese,israelis and iraqi's have simply had enough..
hey UN? kiss my arse putos!
Ping............
As a Lebanese Christian I am happy to see my muslim compatriots join in asking for the withdrawal of Syria in one voice. We have all suffered terribly and my heart only contains joy and forgiveness as lebanon moves on its way to independence. I hope and pray it happens peacefully.
Ping!
The Lebanese Bishops believe that expatriates should be allowed to vote in the next election, much like the Iraqi expatriates.

The main threat to the Southern Lebanese Christians who have been abandoned by Barak's government are the Shi'ite and Iran supported Hezb'ollah. Until they are ruling Southern Lebanon and until the Lebanese army ans security forces take control in those parts, there will be no peace and security for the Lebanese Christians or Israel, for that matter.
