FIRST post

Who needs yet another blog (or blogger) about Lebanon?

As it turns out, I keep surfing the prominent blog sites only to find that the same opinions are expressed in different ways with some more eloquently than others. I'm hoping that perhaps this one will add another twist to the Lebanese quagmire as the Lebanese watch from their movie or nightclub seats, the apocalypse and destruction of their country.

Hopefully, this blog will incite the common Lebanese to take up the country in their own hands and proclaim victory over the politicians who sit idle and comfortable in their homes, watching normal citizens collapse one after the other.

What are the politicians doing to save their constituencies from falling to economic collapse after they were elected to office? The brutal answer -simply nothing- ought to incite Lebanese to take up the streets and proclaim victory over these useless politicians of all kinds. 

A new generation of leaders with a clear view is being brewed and a grassroots movement needs to rise not from the ashes of the country, but from the flames that are burning. Hopefully, a new dawn will soon rise because the ones feeding the fire are not stopping anytime soon.

As Gibran Khalil Gibran wrote in the "Prophet" (and John Kennedy repeated after him):
Ask not what your country can do for you but what YOU can do for your country.
