Blogging the Middle EastOctober 6, 2006 This is your LebanonFiled under:Lebanon, Palestine / Israel #8212; Anarchorev 9:31 pm While the Maronite Patriarch continues to meddle in politics and his right-wing followers (gangs of Samir Geagea) continue to bash Iran left, right, and center for being a #8220;theocracy #8221;, the tea-serving internal security forces have fired live ammunition at protestors, killing one, injuring at least 4 others, in Beirut. The incident took place as the forces arrived at the area to remove what they call #8220;illegal #8221; housing. The authorities allege that the protestors started rioting and firing shots, preventing them from performing their #8220;duties #8221; (but they did perform their duties in Marja #8217;ayoun), which forced them to fire in the air to disperse the demonstrators. The result of this #8220;firing in the air #8221; fest At least 4 civilians sustained gunshot wounds, and another died. An autopsy revealed that the killed civilian had received two gunshot wounds in the back from two different rifles, at a distance of 2 meters. Members of the tea-serving force received stick-and-stone wounds, and are now whining about #8220;varying material damage #8221; to their vehicles.I prefer that they stick to tea-serving. Really. I am sure they would make ideal husbands.In the meantime, Israeli jets continue their fly-overs. Today they picked Ba #8217;albak in particular. Still waiting for UNIFIL to shoot down a fighter jet or two. Mandate What mandate Now I get it. The Bush administration #8217;s definition of terrorism has to do with who serves tea to Israelis when they come face-to-face, and who doesn #8217;t. And UNIFIL only shows its rotten and bloody (the blood of the victims of the Marwaheen massacre) teeth at the Lebanese. Of course. I mean, they said it outright. They were here to protect Israel #8217;s #8220;right to exist #8221; (or was it #8220;right to self-defense #8221; I mean, it changes so often, at times it #8217;s just self-defense, at others it #8217;s more hysterical, it has to do with existence and extinction).By the way, some of the best tea I #8217;ve had is Bigelow. Especially the orange amp; spice herb tea. Well they have lots of flavours, but I haven #8217;t tried all. Their website is tea heaven. Something the internal security tea-serving forces should look into.Comments (0)October 4, 2006 Some statsFiled under:Lebanon #8212; Anarchorev 11:17 pm I have compiled the results of a poll conducted by the Beirut Centre for Research amp; Information in a PDF file. 800 Lebanese from different sects and regions were asked 7 questions. I briefly summarize the results here: The majority are unsatisfied with the performance of the government and would like to see a national unity government. 92.6% of Shi #8217;ites polled believe that the government #8217;s performance in the rebuilding process has been #8220;unacceptable #8221;, compared to a solid 0% of Shi #8217;ites poll
