Cleaning house...or well...
In a surprise move, the government has decided to relieve the airport security chief from his function because of his alleged close ties to Syria.
In the same breath, March 14 wants general Suleiman, who made most if not all of his career under Syrian tutelage, to become the next president...
Still, the quote of the day is for Michel Aoun who said that during tomorrow's demonstrations, riots will be banned. Only thing is, his and March 8's definition of riots versus legitimate protest is rather vague: blocking roads with burning tires, shooting at Lebanese soldiers...it's all part of exercising one's democratic right according to March 8. You really have to wonder what March 8 considers to be "riots"...

Hi Reimer
I have been reading your blog from the onset and sometimes I agree and sometimes I don't. What would be nice is for you to write an article about what you LIKE about Lebanon. Behind the politics, behind the rhetoric, behind the BS there are Lebanese who just want to live their lives.Tell us about their daily lives, the quality of their lives,their expectations, their hopes for the future etc...and what does the average man on the street think of all this? Thank you. Keep up the great blog! Great reading!
