The world is talking, are you listening?

Bloggers of the Lebanese blogosphere touched upon a wide range of topics this past week. Please bear patience and read on and I assure you that your journey will be rewarding. It is difficult to encompass all that was discussed. But among the posts are: How the failures of the “March 14 Movement” (Cedar Revolution) are leading to advances in the opposing camps, especially in the camp of “the Free Patriotic Movement” of Gen. Aoun. Reflection and analysis on the verbal clashes within/between some of the sects in Lebanon. Love it leave it relationship between Lebanon and Lebanese youth. The priorities that the politicians have which do not meet the basic needs of the people. A heavy attack on ATTAC which is a campaign against the WTO and on WTO too. Mistreatment of foreign maids working in Lebanon. Surprise predictions concerning the assassination of PM Rafic Hariri “Fair and balanced” reporting in the Arab media resulting in less reporting on the missiles that are actually killing the Palestinians everyday.  An artist’s play on the cedar, the Lebanese national symbol, to reflect the internal political and factional strife plus the Lebanese infatuation with the world cup.
