It is a shame, Lebanon as a country has so many things going for it. It is a beautiful place, it has a prime spot on the Mediterranean. The people are fantastic, and no other country that I know of has a mix of religions like it does, sunni, shia, and christian in about equal numbers, that get along as well as they do in Lebanon.
You'd hope things might be looking better albeit at a slow rate as more and more youth are becoming educated and understanding of what needs to be done to really shape the country properly but voices get drowned out by the old corrupt ***** and their people.
Unfortunately the demographics of the country prevent it from prospering. Just look where it is situated. It cops it from all angles.
You were going along so well until the religion thing. They do not get along so well. There has been civil war. It is the reason Lebanon is disjointed.
Name me a country in the ME or surrounds with a religious mix like that which has done better...

Bah, religion is just one of many excuses humans use to kill each other.
Is that the lady organising a container to ship over? If it is I recommend it. Misses contributed all the essentials IE sanitary products and baby products.
Thank you for posting this. It's a shame we can't trust the fkn corrupt government even with charities.
Yeh, QMHR is a very trusted source. Not only do they have this charity but they practice their faith to the fullest. They also have direct contacts with the Lebanese Monks of Beit Maroun(House of St Maroun).
God bless them and you brother
God bless you and your family as well habibeh.
That concept in itself is a recipe for disaster. Always.
I hate to say this, but France running Lebanon would actually be a progressive move. The Politicians there are so corrupt and backwards, that almost anything else is a move forward. I think having a Western Nation running Lebanon would help in terms of getting the economy back up to scratch, tourism blossoming again, International Security (weapons, military etc...) and also other things such as Science and Technology, however, it must be done with respect to Lebanese culture.
