#6 Not all people in Ashrafié are Maronite. My 2 daughters went in a Catholic school for a year there.(1969-70)

#7 fair enough - CE, as am I - I doubt you'd consider them Islamic combatants? Me neither. Mrs D was off target on this one

#9 ST - You cleared out your Cookies - including your Rantburg Cookie... So Fred made one up! You can resume your previous life as ST just by changing the posting name on your next comment, but you're right: Fred's naming algorithm is pretty spiffy, heh.

#10 .com - You'r right. I just recuperated my PC after a spectacular CRASH due to my stupidity (I insisted to install the *ç%&ã SP2 of the èü?¨"* W.xp)

#11 Lol! I dunno what it was, but it bit ya big-time, huh? We all sympathize, believe me.

I try to think positively about these things... I just consider all the crap I got rid of, lol!

#13 It is plain as day to see what Baby Face is trying to do here. He is sending his thugs to cause trouble, clean up his self mandated uprising, so he can play hero and prove to the world that Lebanon is out of control without an abusive/intrusive dictator.

Well Baby Face, I got news for you. We've playing this game for more than a year now in Iraq and also, we got the GPS coordinates to your villa's, if you don't cut the crap. BTW, that's an order not a request. My name is George Bush and I approved this message.

#14 People in the cars exchanged insults with about a dozen men. Gunmen then opened fire from the cars as they drove around, the witnesses said.

Note that the "pro-Assad" "demonstrators" were armed.

And that they fired first.

Charming people. What a pity they didn't all end up dead.
