Saint: This shows what can happen given the right attitude, timing, experience, willingness , trust and good will. Someday I hope to see that here but Ill not hold my breath.
Parnell, Most people here in Lebanon would look to Ireland as the way to sort out their problems. They actully believe the trouble in Ireland was worse than the Civil war here even though the death toll here was over 150,000. When I first came here in 1998 they were calling the Irish madmen( it was just after Omagh bomb). Yesterday was one small step but the divide between some parties is still significant
