wallah mazbout 100 bel 100. I think one is better off rearranging few road maps based on this simple insight only.

There will be no real and lasting solution before the overhaul of regimes in the region and their real evolution towards a practical form of democracy and people representation. Once that happens, a form of lasting peace can be crafted.

Leaving the rest of the regimes alone and focusing on Lebanon, the same still applies. We need to have a sovereign modern governance system in Lebanon that can then craft its peace with Israel. Our best bet as Lebanese is to focus on that.
I doubt it has to do with Arab regime's formulas. A Faraonian regime in Egypt and a royal dynasty in Jordan do already have peace with Israel. The same goes practically for all the rest. Those countries were smart enough to get back all they wanted from Israel, without giving it back a nail of what it economically wanted or hoped for. They had no problems ditching all the rest of their 3ouroubian 'brothers'.. I think it's about time we also do the same, because I am quite confident that neither the syrians nor the palestinians when their peace bell rings, would pay much concern to OUR Lebanese-Israeli cause. Regimes brands don't make much difference here.
