In our modern days, it seems quite embarrassing to expose a version or a slice of a population in any country as being retarded. Retarded here comes as, if i can define, as a way of thinking not as it express physically. So, it is a problem for a population to contain retarded group of people inheriting a way of thinking, and what a way of thinking, maybe that has expired 100 years ago due to the great progress that has occurred in technology, archeology, and way of living.
Now you may be wondering, what the hell I am talking about?! In this concern, I mean those group of people who carry a way of thinking that no longer appear feasible at least for Lebanon; Lebanon can no longer handle such extremist way of thinking. We have been thrown into a war that does not even carry any nationalistic title. We, or our complementary public, fought for regional emperrors that carry tremendous geographic, demographic, and economic resources that we dont have, and can fight not just a war, but dozens of them, and can afford to prepare not only hundreds, but thousands if not millions of Jihadist's who can fight the Hizballa's style and maybe better, definitely better; to add, these regional countries lack something we have, creativity and love of life; we know how to live, we know how become modernized while conserving our culture. This touch of life is missing with them, and thats why they hate this country and never want it florish.
At last, its no longer acceptable to have your home destructed, your children killed, and your parents handicapped and still say "I care less", its for the sake of the Sayyid; At least me, i cant imagine myself saying that. why?? Just because nobody can feel the others as he feels himself; when my home is destructed for a cause that i have nothing to do with, then my home, which is my personal history is lost for nothing. I think if everybody in Lebanon, or somebody in order not to generalize, thinks like that, then Lebanon will survive and thrive and retardedness will become soluble.

The thing is, Samer, the people who are saying they would give everything for the sake of the "Sayyid" are the same people who lived in the poorest regions of Lebanon and have been forever ignored by our government. During these years, Hezbollah has offered them shelter, food, money, medical services, education and religious services; it has become one with its own peoples, Samer, add to that, these people have seen how cruel and terrorizing Israel could be and Hezbollah gave them a "cause" and a "hope" to live by - that which is to "liberate" whatever they have to liberate by fighting for it themselves. These people grow up thinking like this, it's an integral part of their lives - the sense of victimization, which is valid somehow when you really look at it. I agree with you completely that you, I, and most of the Lebanese can't identify with their "victory," the best thing here is to spend some time in their shoes and see how it feels like. Remember what was the cause of the uncivil war back in 1975, a Lebanese group was feeling victimized and threatened, the rest was history, let's not repeat this again. Btw - you're spending too much time on LBC (am I right?) hehehe. I can completely relate to your post though, I feel the same way, sometimes.
