A notion,

This is one of the best posts I’ve read in a while,

And definitely the most balanced commentary on the assassination of Pierre Gemayel.

It’s nearly funny to note that most Lebanese bloggers are, as usual, passionately ridiculing the notion of “Syria doesn’t gain by this” as even a possible rationale for their non-involvement. These days, it doesn’t matter whether something makes sense or not as long as Syria can be blamed; you see, that rationale is that even if it doesn’t benefit Syria, the Syrians are so stupid that they capable of doing things that hurt them.

I second that. It’s become annoying.

    I saw Rime on CNN the day of the assassination. The CNN anchor was clearly trying to get Rime to lay the blame on Syria, but Rime maintained that it’s too early to tell who was involved in the assassination.

    Hell Yeh! The number of irrate Lebanese Bloggers I got attacking me for suggesting that Syria might not be THAT stupid! It’s annoying!

    they are still under the shock.. give them time.. they didn’t get the time to heal their wounds when a new death was upon them. god knows i would be blinded with rage if i was in their shoes.

    I am talking about the people of course.. fuck their opportunist politicians….

    Hey guys, thank you! It’s great to feel that we think like a team in cyberspace and that more and more talented Syrians are out there!

    I donno what to say to you.
    did u even read the post?

    The meaning of the post, is exactly the opposite. the meaning of the post is that I’m not sure that syria did it. and I’m annoyed that people think so.

    It’s very plain and simple english u know.

    when u wanna be a smart-ass and comment about my “stupid” blog have the least understanding of what u read.

    and btw, as I am sure u didnt take notice. half the post is a quote from Rime Allaf’s post, which I linked to it. u should check that post too.

    I dont like ignorant people. dont be one.

    Oh yeah, I would also recommend u taking English courses before u set out to other blogs and make a total fool out of urself.

    I’m sorry, I wouldnt be this harsh if it wasnt for ur smart-ass, cheap sarcastic notes about the title of my blog… When u wanna be sarcastic, the first thing u oughta do, is NOT be an idiot.

    u know, bint al golan, u still dont get it do u?

    The post is very simple and clear. it’s 4 lines.

    regardless. I havent been brought up abroad neither. :)… and my reference to ur english was only out of shock because what is said is very “simple” english language structure..

    and I still dont get whats the “Stupid” approach ur talking about?

    “I am sorry, may I interfere here, it just seems very much that you are so SURE that Syria did it! and i don’t know if “being stupid” just shuts all the controversy down!” ??? excuse me? where in my post do u see that I feel like syria did it, or I condone such an opinion.

    and no, I’m not free enough, I’m just pissed enough.

    regardless, it’s history now.

    welcome to the blogsphere. and sorry for anything that I said and might’ve upset u.
