And Voice from Brazil and Ras Beirut for your responses, encouraging the possibility that the bleakest strands of Lebanon’s history need not be its fate. Holiday wishes.

In other words, its entry in Lebanon should not be seen from the lens of an innocuous offer to save the christians.

Let me guess, they wanted a regime change in Damascus?

You are the voice of wisdom. All of what you said so eloquently is spot on. Lebanon’s recent history has been nothing but a tragedy of major proportion for the ones who paid a heavy human price and a heart break for the ones who care.

I for one pray for better days and years ahead, and hope the stars line up for Lebanon to get there.

Merry Christmas to all.

So what is your point? I hope that you are not suggesting that whenevr someone asks a neighbour/friend for help and assistance that should turn into servitude and occupation.
Of course Kamal Jumblatt was trying to destablize the country and so were the Kataeb/Ahrar/LF’rs. A democratic and independent Lebanon does not need any of these traditional feudal lords and or fascist organizations but by the same token this does not mean that Syrian occupation and exploitation are to be tolerated either.

What were they; the Syrian Army doing in Tal-Al-Za’tar; just curious…Be careful how you answer please to spare us some rib cracking laughter…
Also, refer back to history and feel free to check the archives of the year’s newspapers and announcements to see that Syria entered Lebanon “legally” becuase they were asked by SF senior; the president of Lebanon!
