Everybody I heard in the last few days, have either angered me or disappointed me: from March 14th, to Hizbullah, Gen. `Awn, to Amal, and the Lebanese Communist Party, etc. Today, I heard Sulayman Franjiyyah. He made more sense than all the rest (I never believe in the value of formal education). He was the only prominent political figure I know who spoke against the shelling of the refugee camp. The opposition (and Hizbullah in particular) are busy sending salutations and congratulations to the Lebanese Army for shelling the refugee camp in Nahr Al-Barid. Now, don't get me wrong. I know that the Lebanese Army needed to boost its morale and restore (restore?) its prestige. It was humiliated yet again by the Israeli occupation army last summer, when 2400 Lebanese fighters succeeded in humiliating the Israeli occupation army. The Lebanese Army feels that it needs to shell the camp to boost morale. Most Lebanese seem to agree. Even my mother is supporting the Lebanese Army (she thinks that it was set up by Hariri Inc).
PS This just in. Lebanese TV is reporting that its crew in `Alay was also attacked by Jumblat demonstrators.
