Something is wrong ..

Posted by N10452

I hate to bring this up, but i sense the current situation is gonna blow up one more time and end up by an assasination or a bombing.
What i fear this time is a bombing in Gemmayze or in Achrafieh, those places have been very crowded every night for the past 2 weeks and managed to overcome the current political situation and attract more people.

Any small incident will empty the streets and add up to the political tensions.

I wish security forces would take more precautions in those streets and i truly hope my feelings are wrong.

    i’ve had the same thought :( the first week of the current crisis i was constantly bracing myself for the explosiion i felt coming at any second… kind of like this summer, when u were up past 12:30am, u knew that night’s bombings were about to start. that same feeling, only stronger, and a lot more scared to be honest.

    now that people have let their guard down as u note, the consequences would be horrific. god i hope our feelings are all wrong here, but yes i AGREE, the security forces need to step up a bit. and what happened to those cctv cameras they said they were going to install throughout beirut??

    I sense that something is being cooked! Are the parties getting ready for awar? Are they waiting for outside countries to give them the signal to start? I think that a bigger war will start in late spring early summer of 2007! I hope that WE are ready for it! WE will get rid of outside interference in our country!

    N,

    A bomb would have as major goal to desert the place and spread terror.

    Your prediction is doing the same thing but of course in a minor scale; it spreads terror and keep people away from that place.

    Regards,

    WE, the cowards living abroad can’t dare go to Lebanon, I envy you for the courage to live there and still go out and mix with the crowds.
    God be with all of you and please take photos of the snow, please please please

    Wow, I was thinking the exact same thing as I was walking through Gemayzeh. I myself have been going down almost every single evening. It’s my way of defying what is haunting us barely 100 meters away from the pub hub. I feel that if I go out and have a good time and put some money into people’s pockets with every drink I buy, then I am, in a small, minuscule, and probably meaningless way, trying to stir some trust into the economy.

    I don’t even want to imagine what would happen if a bomb blew up in the middle of the night in a place like Gemayzeh. I’d probably be a victim :(
