Tough old bird, that Cardinal! I wouldn't want to fool with him and the Mohammadens might want to think twice about this. Seeing him shake hands with Gen Aoun will keep them up a night or two! On the other hand, as Gipper Gal will tell you, this sort of Syrian Mohammaden meddling is age old and the reason why so many Lebanese Christians came to America.

Wasn't that picture of him and Aoun something! I swear I never thought I would see the day! I mentioned in another thread, I hope Abu Arz returns too and soon.

True, but we will never abandon Mt. Lebanon. I think the words from that song by the Rahbani Brothers (sung the famous Fairuz) is planted in the heart of every Maronite:

Take me and plant me in the land of Lebanon,
Take me to the house that is guarding the hill,
Where I shall open the door and kiss the walls,
And kneel under the loveliest sky, and pray, and pray...
