Lamps grocer Garabed are lit.
The Armenian citizen has never forgiven
we air his slain father,
the Kurdish mountains,
but he loves you;
because you also don ' have not forgiven
to those who have left this black spot,
front of Turkish people.

seated with my wife and a couple of old friends, we let ourselves be lulled by the delightfully cozy atmosphere of one of the last authentic restaurants of Beirut (if not the last), and whose the wine has nothing to envy to those of its European counterparts or others which is certainly not the case with so many new eateries-hoax''luxury''of Achrafieh, Verdun, Gemayzeh or downtown.
Noting with ever-renewed amazement the virtuosity of the leader in cognac vsop ceremoniously burn the whole fillet of Charolais beef skewered on a long larding silver, and we cut it into slices of succulent smoky, crisp outdoors and pink in the center as it should, my eyes took in the whole of distinguished clientele composed mostly the last vestiges of the old bourgeoisie Beirut and some remnants of the middle class than thirty years of wars and misery without end, eventually to shatter.
A calm and serenity just tempered by notes of crystalline Luna Caprese stalk slightly and almost muted piano, reigned over the place yet crowded, which was understandable given the absence (not surprisingly) of usual or new rich old rich militiamen, who are naturally exempt increasing their commotion and cacophony to other places more responsive to their culture and preferences. The venerable
Médoc helping the conversation became animated and ramify to finally focus on the inevitable topic of Gaza.
_ God forgive me, "declared the wife of my friend, but I think the Palestinians will never pay enough for all the harm they have caused in Lebanon and the Lebanese ...
Knowing the golden heart of the Lady but also the language which the connection with the savvy is not always the most perfect, I refrained from any comment, preferring to order a new bottle and drink to his health. To preserve
some friendships, you have to sometimes keep some of his opinions to yourself.
But to go after my friend's reasoning and assuming the existence of a certain Karma that the Palestinians deserved a result of their escapade Lebanese, it would be curious to know what kind of punishment reserved by the same universal justice for the Lebanese who have instigated, supported, and used it for their own purposes, at the cost of the ruin of a nation!
Not much I fear! they were quick to be readmitted has other records once the payroll Abu Ammar dried up, and continue to prance up today on the Lebanese scene in eternal paragons of patriotic virtue and integrity.
Faithful has a long tradition of systematic deception, but perhaps also driven by an obscure sense of inferiority vis-à-vis the''brothers''Arabs who more or less always doubted their Arabism'''' This same cabal we now pours former absurd speech that reaffirmed the wise is that our country will be the last Arab nation to make peace with Israel, which means in other words that when our turn comes, he will let us do the sad fact of all the markets that our brothers (especially the big brother Syrian) have concluded with the Hebrew cousin to our detriment.
Ironically, the crater opened in Gaza with the horror and savagery took by surprise those who expected it and wanted the most, which is now thoroughly upset all regional data and even beyond.
Whatever the outcome of the battle, the evil influence of the mass grave in Gaza, Iranian mistress part, is already being felt in the beginnings of a violent schism Sunni / Sunni who is in addition to countless local political dissidents and religious and a break of more profound among Arab populations and their governing authorities.
geopolitical and geostrategic vision uncluttered back forcing the slaughter wild has its original framework, which is the regional conflict between Sunnis central formalist and tsunami tidal wave Khomeini and Shi'ite jihadist who took advantage of poor Arab regimes so-called''moderate''to take ownership of their traditional partner on the Palestinian cause. Hence
alignments aberrant said schemes and their erratic behavior in a surreal situation where we see the support of the pro-Khomeini by the hard core of Sunnis that are the formalistic''Brotherhood,''while the extreme Sunni Ultracism d ''Al Qaeda''ostensibly turns the genocide of his fellow Jews from Gaza to get lost in the maze of Bombay after putting Iraq's fire and blood.
Advancing Gaza suddenly on the chessboard in a seemingly suicidal move, Iran's strategic coup began a merciless and consumed which takes little account of Palestinian lives (as Lebanese lives in 2006) whether or not sacrificed, the play itself is less important to him since he remains an advantage in two ways.
I would even assume that the incalculable consequences of a Gaza crushed by Sahayina'h''''after a Homeric struggle, it would be even more favorable than the brilliance of Gaza ' 'victorious.''
History teems with examples of bodies which have proved infinitely more dangerous in death than their lifetime.

Snatches of conversation that reached me quiet a neighboring table told me that it was discussing farm next election and can identify with a fun approver, a pronounced hostility to the forces of the front who calls himself''the opposition'', including our National General Alcazar.
By switching to the candle beeswax candle in its silver as the noble Cohiba offered me my friend, I let myself go just a few moments to delicious contemplation lulled by the beautiful aromatic combination the velvety blue mixed to those of the venerable cognac and strong coffee.
While everything in my background, my culture and my beliefs destined me to react favorably with the themes displayed by the March 14 movement - I thought - why are they now for me (and remain more than ever) :''The Clique''14 Brumaire?
To this, my very dear and very late Nazim Hikmet said, through two small lines from a poem masterful when it comes to fake revolutionaries:
... I loved the songs,
I despised men ...
Ibrahim Tyan.
