Change will not come from the top, our leaders thrive on the status quo. It is up to us to start something. Losing one’s illusions is a necessary first step in order not to be disappointed.

March 14 was made by the people and killed by politicians, I still remember my mom telling me to ignore them and that they will fight each others again soon, and I used to tell her that she was wrong, that we were leading the revolution that we are not like them, that we will change the country, I still remember everyday and every night I spent in the demos dreaming about change, w lek wein sorna! ============= Do you believe things will change in Lebanon anytime soon for the people?

To cut things short, I don't think things will change soon. Not at all. However, after 2 years of uncertainty, fear and instability, things seem to be slowly uncovering into a brighter theme. At least, the Lebanese army proved victorious after a lot of speculation regarding their unreadiness and incapabilities going into such a fight. However, we still have the presidential campaign coming up. We still have to resolve the HA armament or disarmament. We still have to see politicians like Jumblat retire. We still await the verdict of the Hariri killings. We still need to assert the Syrian borders and a real diplomatic relationship with Syria. We still have the Israeli situation to consider. Add to that, the Palestinian. We still need to see the Lebanese confessional system/constitution substituted for something more efficient and less sectarian. Very long list. Rampurple,
