Lebanon is a little beautiful country. It allows you to enjoy the beach and the mountains within one hour time difference. The people there are so generous and modernized. Not only that, but some of the genius persons come from Lebanon. But our government does not make the opportunities for geniuses to stay. Instead, they search other countries where they can be honored and welcomed.
What can one say about such government? It accepts criticism for its democratic nature, unlike other governments. But this government can offer nothing to its people and land. For long decades, people in Lebanon lived depending on the help coming from the first immigrants in Brazil. Statistically, Lebanese people are in majority seniors. There is no room and not enough food for the young. From the day you are born, migration is destined.
Our country is rich in waterfalls, rivers, beach areas, mountains as well as the beautiful climate, which makes it a touristic place for the surrounding countries and others willing to discover its nature. A lot of its economy is based on tourism. Tourism is the main profit for restaurants, pool areas, hotels and parks. Even though, no money is left in the treasury. Our government takes it to spend it on its members. The minister gets out of the government three times richer.
In winter 2007, two groups were formed in the government: One that opposed the stealing policy, and another that wanted to continue this way and steal from the people. The first one wanted the president to stay, believing that he was a good leader that refused selling the country to strangers and wanted to save the people from hunger, especially after the massacres done by Israel in July of 2006. The second group was following the lead of Bush that allowed them to use weapons against the people. So many people were killed by that group called government. Finally the presidential period was over, and it was time to elect a new president.
The second group wanted a new president chosen by its members. Of course, the first group opposed this decision, and agreed on a new president but elected by both groups. After nine months without a president and nine months of hunger and disruption in the country, a president was elected in 25 May 2008.
During the nine months, restaurants and hotels closed. Most of the jobs around the country were resumed. People got laid off with no pay. Some who have five to ten children couldn’t buy bread or any kind of food. Countries around followed the order of Bush and cut the imports to Lebanon. Most of the imports were to come from Syria, who was oppressed by the American media being a cause for the conflict. Syria closed the borders and stopped any trade with the Lebanese, which increased the risk of hunger. Everything became expensive; food, clothing, gas and even gold.
People demonstrated in front of the capital, demanding for their rights to elect a new government and live in peace. The first resigned from the government, but the second wanted to stick to the chair and make the country a playground for them and other countries. On top of that the second group, with the prime minister on its side, raised the taxes on medications, food, utilities as well as imports and exports.
The people were so angry, but there was never a hope in a government. For decades, the government was the stealing machine. So much help came from the neighbors to help rebuilt the country after every destruction Israel made. But none got to the people. All of the grants stayed with the governors and ministers who shared the profits, and spent them on building their castles and buying European products to please their families and themselves.
So sad for the people, with a president or without, have to rebuilt the country themselves with no government who cares about them. Lebanon will be rebuilt; Lebanon will be rebuilt, as a song use to say.
