“Nothing annoys me about the March 14th Movement in Lebanon and the opposition movement is their frequent invocation of the word "civilized" to describe their activities and movements. I just heard a Hizbullah leader talk about the "civilized" nature of the protests. Civilized? What is with that obsession? Count me out of any movement that aims at "civilized" behavior. They all want to be like the White Man. It is a disease in Lebanon, afflicting all political movements and groups.”" (thanks Vivian)
