Pope John Paul II once said as well, __ebanon is a message more than it is a country._ Now this diversity has turned into fragmentation and the richness into poverty, awaiting a miraculous remedy.

No despotism, no privileged monopolies, no police societies, no divine rights of the emirs or feudal landlords or shady priests and sheikhs. All had the same equal footing__he rich and the poor, the noble and the common.

The country has turned its loyal inhabitants into wanderers similar to the survivors of an apocalypse.

No wonder God chose this dark land to send prophets to, for a candle only shines in the dark.

The Fanatics have dirtied its fiber, and their mottos have reated a thick layer of mold over its wounds, one of total intolerance, feeding on the indoctrination of the youth cliques.
