Hariri's Game (part 2) The Lebanese Government Quit.

category international | politics / elections | other press author Tuesday March 01, 2005 08:13author by - Report this post to the editors

a.k.a. "the Cedar Revolution"

In what is being soundbyted as "a peaceful intifada" and a "cedar revolution" the complete government of the Lebanon last night handed in their papers,keys, and whispered to each other about not using big cars anymore.

the "very dramatic move" came after a days protest in "martyr's square". Most people don't want to be martyrs, they want to live peaceful lives and participate in their society, and also live free of the wickedness of war, corruption, lies, indoctrination, criminality of any politicians, the foolishness of the proud, any of the things they have long laboured under the yokes of. They do not want to live or their children to live in fear of intimidation, exile, poverty, inequality. They want normal lives.

When all your government resign you may safely consider you have taken an important step in the right direction. Anarcho-syndicalists approve of this type of thing.

This has not exactly been a bloodless affair.
the estimated 300kg which brought the former Mr Hariri to the attention of plagiarising obits throughout the world, killed quite a few people.
