	Naharnet Newsdesk - LF Lashes at Karami's Stance on Geagea's Release
		The Lebanese Forces expressed disenchantment with ex-Premier Omar Karami's proposal that a national referendum be held to decide whether jailed LF commander Samir Geagea should be freed, while stressing at the same time that he would not drop his court right as a plaintiff against the imprisoned leader.
		Geagea was convicted by a Beirut court after his 1994 arrest of masterminding Rashid Karami's mid-air assassination as he was flying back to Beirut from Tripoli on an army helicopter on June 1, 1987.
		However, the statement reminded Karami that the LF had scored handsomely in Lebanon's latest municipal elections "despite the incarceration of its leader and the persecution of its activists," while the ex-premier finished a poor last among the winners in Lebanon's 2000 parliamentary elections at his hometown of Tripoli.

		The Palestinian-Lebanese crisis during April and May of 1969 was typical of how the Lebanese government maneuvered to prevent the increasingly popular Palestinian movement from gaining overpowering popular support.
		Although such Lebanese prime ministers as Rashid Karami genuinely wanted Lebanon to support the Palestinians and to achieve greater military preparedness, the Christian-led military succeeded in outwitting both the Palestinian guerrillas and their Lebanese sympathizers.
		The aim of the Lebanese government in the 1969 crisis was to impose strict rules in the refugee camps, to prevent pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Beirut and other cities, and to limit the movement of the fedayeen in the country’s south near the Israeli frontier to curb raids into Israel and the predictable Israeli reprisals.

		The president and the prime minister deliberate over the composition of the cabinet and present the nominees to the Chamber of Deputies to solicit a vote of confidence.
		A distinguished prime minister can enhance the prestige of the president, and the office has been held by some fairly capable politicians, including Riyad as Sulh, Saib Salam, and Rashid Karami.
		Clearly, a prime minister's constitutionally mandated power is small, and over the years his most effective methods of action have been informal.

	Lebanon - President Shihab (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		President Shihab, having cultivated nonpartisanship during the 1958 Civil War, enjoyed considerable support from the various political factions.
		However, his initial appointment to the cabinet of a large number of Muslim leaders, such as Rashid Karami, Sunni leader from Tripoli, whom he asked to form a reconciliation government, led to sharp reactions by the Phalange Party.
		Shihab was obliged to reapportion the balance in the cabinet on the basis of "no victors, no vanquished." He instituted electoral reform and increased the membership of the Chamber of Deputies from sixty-six to ninety-nine, thus enabling leaders of the various factions in the civil war to become active members of the legislature.
