	The Lebanon Study Group Report - Middle East Forum
		Lebanon is a significant and forceful presence in the Arab world and a beacon capable of leading its fellow Arab nations in the direction of religious tolerance, democracy and greater economic and social freedoms.
		Lebanon hosts surprisingly durable and resilient institutions, individual and group initiatives, deep patriotism, accumulated historical experiences, a mixture of local grounding and cosmopolitan orientation, and the free flow of ideas-all expressing a living multicultural spectrum.
		Lebanon's historical status as a sanctuary for persecuted minorities is reflected in her eighteen officially recognized religious denominations-nearly all of which connect to significant populations outside Lebanon's borders.

	Lebanon.com Newswire - Local News April 29 1997
		Speaker Nabih Berri is reported to be tending to refuse the extension, wondering its timing, denying his prior knowledge on the step, considering it premature or early, and arguing the argument on the issue before the draft bill is received by parliament.
		The speaker thinks the solution is through laying a parliamentary election law for the year 200, stipulating shortening the coming parliament term 8 months or less, so that the elections will be automatically held in spring not summer.
		Speaker Berri said the GLC new leadership will give the government a reasonable phase of time to respond to these demands otherwise it will be obliged to struggle with all the possible means in framework of the democratic system.

	The Syrian Occupation of Lebanon - Middle East Forum
		Lebanon is the most direct land route to invade Israel (and vice versa).
		Also, Lebanon is host to a multitude of Syrian-backed terrorist organizations, which operate with greater impunity there than they do in Syria itself and use Lebanon as a launch pad for cross border attacks on Israel (Damascus would never dream of allowing terrorist groups to attack Israel directly from Syrian soil).
		Although Lebanon's sectarian divisions and fractured political culture have contributed to the lasting Syrian occupation, the most decisive factor is international permissiveness; the United States and other powers tacitly accept Syrian hegemony.

	Middle East Report Online: Thirteen-Year ItchThe Demise of Lebanon's Taif Agreement?, by Marlin Dick
		Lebanon's opposition is sidelined by the repercussions of September 11 or by purely domestic factors.
		A blueprint for Lebanon's political system, the document did not abolish the practice whereby government posts are reserved for certain sectarian groups, but called for the formation of a committee to discuss the gradual deconfessionalization of politics down the road.
		As Lebanon's two senior politicians remain apparently cool to Taif, it was ironic to see the issue raised during the rally organized by Aoun's supporters on August 7.

	International IDEA Women in Politics
		Without such a law, the numbers of women MPs is not likely to increase as a result of their parties' defeat: a case in point are the elections in Ireland in 1997.
		In fact, women are often put on a party list in order that they not be elected if their party wins insufficient votes in an election.
		It is important to assist women already in parliament to be able to deliver on their promises and to equip them with the necessary skills and strategies to ensure that women's issues are taken into account in the debate and discourse that takes place in parliament.
