President Hails Completion of Reconciliation in the Mountains
President Michel Suleiman hailed on Saturday the completion of the reconciliation process in the Mountains, in particular, in the mixed town of Brih in the Shouf.
Suleiman considered that the reconciliation fortifies the national unity and coexistence among the Lebanese as it will strengthen the ties between the residents of the Mountains and the rest of the people.
He praised the efforts exerted by Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat to accomplish this achievement.
On Friday, Jumblat revealed following talks with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi that the reconciliation in the Mountains was complete and the end of violations against Christian properties in the village of Brih.
He pointed out that a a reconciliation ceremony will be held under the auspices of al-Rahi and the president after “the wound of the town of Brih healed.”
“With the end of violations against the land of the Christians in Brih, we put a closure to all the pain of the war in the Mountains,” Jumblat said.
During his visit to the Shouf in September, al-Rahi and Jumblat agreed to exert efforts to complete the reconciliation in the Mountains that the former head of the church, Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir, started in 2001.
At the time al-Rahi lauded the efforts exerted by the PSP chief for the return of the displaced to the Mountains, while Jumblat said the reconciliation would be complete only when the wound of the mixed Christian and Druze village heals.

Calling your fellow citizens "retarded" when all they're doing is closing the wounds of war is ignorant in itself. No wonder why we Lebanese struggle to get past our differences. It's because of the ignorance of the few ... Hint, hint!!!

And for the record, my question to you was sarcasm at its best. Glad to see you're bright enough to recognize it... LOL!!!
You guys might be happy to read the news but when I read such things it reminds me that Lebanon is still living in the middle ages and that even the Latin American country I live in is less retarded.
