		<description><![CDATA[Walid Jumblat surprised everyone with his recent statements regarding his membership in the March 14 political grouping. However, Jumblat&#8217;s move is more than a political switch-over or change of heart. It is part of a scheme to blackmail him into returning to the pro-Syrian camp, and the price he is being asked to pay for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=656&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

لكن من يدعون الخوف من المقاومة هم الذي قتلوكم ووضعوا لكم المتفجرات
But those who claim fear from the Resistance, they are the ones who killed you and laid explosives for you.

		<description><![CDATA[Lebanon&#8217;s environment is in free fall and we urgently need someone to pay attention to this. If our democracy was a balanced one, this issue would be at the top of politicians&#8217; agendas. Instead, the environment is almost unspoken of.
In fact, the reason for the lack of attention is a little more complicated. First, as we have [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=643&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, Amal, one of Aoun&#8217;s allies in the March 8 group, is complaining to Hezbollah about Aoun&#8217;s tactics in the Jezine election campaign. They accuse his candidates of using divisive language with sectarian tones to get Christians to vote for him in the upcoming elections.
Dah! Did they just find out that this is how Aoun always wins [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=640&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We always hear about the &#8220;traitor rhetoric&#8221; in Lebanese politics. Nothing exemplifies this more than the recent uncovering of Israeli spies. Apparently, one spy is thought to have links to the Hariri&#8217;s Future Movement. Hezbollah wasted no time in jumping on this as proof that the Future Movement are in cahoots with the enemy and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lebreview.wordpress.com&blog=4519104&post=637&subd=lebreview&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

In the following days, Hezbollah and the Syrian Socialist Nationalist Party (SSNP) went on the rampage in Aley and the Chouf.
