Summary- Syrians have ruled lebanon for the seventh and eighth century. For more then 800 years The crusaders, Syrians, Ottamans and Mamlucks have been trying to have Lebanon under their control. Also another famous man was Sleiman Franjieh. He has family descendents from a very long time ago. He was president in the election of 1970. He tried to fight the Syrina troops out of Lebanon. They considered him more 'braun then brain'. His family are known as traders who became wealthy. There us a whole history behind his grandfather and father. Surprisingly he was a Maronite, so it seems that they have been accepted into the land. Then in March 1978the Israelis invaded lebanon and took the southern borders into their control. Then in 1975 Lebanon went through another devistating accident. Where on April 13, 27 passengers where killed on a bus. This began the civil war of Lebanon. It was said that passengers were gunned down and killed one by one by Israli's Today this bus still stands to show the pain that the people went through. This bus was full of Palestians with children in it too. Every passenger was killed, no one left to live. Then back to the 1800s where lebanon wanted to declare independece for their country having great Pride and nationalism.
Quote - "The lebanese of the south were suddenly cut off frm their natural hinderland...." (llewellyn 161).
Reaction- This quote makes the reader feel sorry for Lebanon because everything that is theres is being taken away and they are just standing there thinking that not fighting will have them stop. In my opinion they will never stop untill we show them that we are just as powerful as they are. Until they do that every country that wants to control us will have a chance to. War will keep on happeneding until we stand up for our rights.
