Still no mentioning of Israel's role in Lebanon.

Yeah, good move. Mention all foreign forces to be on the safe side but stress
only the Syrian existence. Syrians have never said that they were an occupation
force. They were aksed by all lebaneese first christians then Muslims to enter
Lebanon. Who asked the Isrealis to go in.
Why stressing that Syria should commence with the withdrawal ? Why not ask the
"hopeful" to put the pressure on his supporters from Israel so that they pull out
of Lebanon "to preserve the unity and integrity" of Lebanon.
It seems to me that a man should have more influence on his friends than on his
enemies. Thus asking Clinton to put pressure on Syria is less productive than
asking him to put pressure on Israel.

Why international supervision ? DO all Lebaneese trust the "West dominated"
international body more than our own government ? There is a legitimate
government in Lebanon which held elections. Reports of fraud surfaced, were
investigated and dealt with. This happens in any election, still that is no
reason to ask for international supervision.
Mr. Clinton, how would you feel if I ask for "international Supervision" of the
american elections ? Wouldn't this be a clear violation of the sovereignty of the
american government ?
Furthermore, the press (international and local) was allowed to monitor the
elections and some of them even accused the government of fraud. How much more
democracy should be made ?

I must have lost the original article, but thanks to Ayman I got to
see the above!!!!!  I think I did say in one of my previous articles
that this whole scheme is beginning to sound like a good comedy and I
think it just did.  

I do still wonder why none of the "authors" of hocus-pocus "Alphaleb"
did comment on my point about Saied Akl (and I wonder why?)  I mean,
you three should at least give Akl the credit for being the original
overzealot behind the failed attempts to latinize the Lebanese dialect
in order to create a *distinct* Lebanese "language".  This is the
worst case of plagiarism I have ever seen.  For normally, one would
try to follow the example of a successful source and in your case, you
chose to plagiarize Saied 'bala' Akl!

(By the way, true story, my late grand father knew Akl personally and
he once was talking to him on the phone regarding the latinization of
Lebanese as Akl was testing the impact of the idea on my grand father.
Well, my grand father told him that from now on he should call him
'bala' Akl for his idea, amicably, and according to jiddo, Akl
laughed...)

This proposal to develop a representation of the "Lebanese mother
tongue" represents a new attempt in the old political ploy to separate
Lebanon from its Arab surrounding.  Several proposals of the same
nature have been championed by Lebanese isolationists over the last
half century.  Under the guise of using the "modern" ascii
representation, the proposal is just one more attempt to change 
the mindset of Lebanese by changing their alphabet to the supposedly 
superior Latin alphabet.

What is revolting about the ploy is that there are hundreds of
non-ascii representable languages in the world, and none seem to be
willing to destroy the richness of their cultural heritage for the 
sake of ascii compatibility.  Actually, a new version of ascii with
16 bit representation is being developed so most languages of the 
world can be represented, not just the latin alphabet.

Finally, it is deceitful to hide behind the sanctity of the Arabic
language (you know, ISLAM..) and its inability to reform.  In most
Arab countries, the  debate has been settled a long time ago, with
all science and math education taking place in a foreign language
like English.  Arabic remains as the language of law, litterature,
culture, and history.

This is my first posting to this newsgroup and all I can see is a 
bunch of politically frustrated exiles, who nothing more in common
than anti-Syrian jokes or "I am more Lebanese than thou" attitude.
The rebuilding of Lebanon will not take place overseas by a bunch
of internet users frozen in the politics of the past, it is actually
happening right now in Lebanon, right or wrong, for good or for worse,
by people doing their best to survive after 17 years of war.  If the 
Lebanon that is being build is not to our liking, lets talk about
how to change it by bringing in new ideas and proposals that unite
us rather than repackaging the old slogans that separate us.

I don't understand this game.  You are a member of a trio trying to
invent some "language" that you can label as a non-Arabic language!
Frankly, one would expect *you* to be an authority in linguistics, not
Waleed.  I was expecting you to know more about Qalam much less asking
others what it meant!

I have a little more serious proposal for the three of you that you
might want to think about.  Knowing that Saied Akl, a definitely much
better authority on linguistics than any of you three, has miserably
failed to introduce "Alphaleb" before any one of you was probably even
born, how about if you speak Arabic-Lebanese backwords :-) That way
you would definitely not sound like you are speaking Arabic.  A lot of
time psychologists attempt to counter some of the phobias their
patients have.  Even though I am not a psychologist, I bet by speaking
the language you dread so much, you know, the language of Qur'an
(woooooohhh), backwards, it might just be a healing process for you
guys.  I hope you take my proposal much much much more seriously than
I took yours and good luck.

By the way, I know people who speak Arabic/Lebanese backwords.  This
certainly is not a bogus proposal.

Finally, someone sensible enough to say enough is enough...

Call me self-righteous but I really feel disgusted at the level of
humor that some of you guys can enjoy on a *public* network.  I
watched followup after the other with guys who apparently have kept
some ambassador's name in his chest for such a long time until, voila,
as though the doors of heavens have opened (whoever that smart ass who
started this thread), a chance to get it off of his chest, well, in
public.  Someone even said that these names caused him to reminisce
over his childhood!  I would be the first to tell you that I wasn't
raised in any better place than any of you and I have heard some of
these names before.  But come on, have some class, keep those lovely
names to yourselves and your *private* friends, where they belong.
