	Suleiman Frangieh - Definition, explanation
		Suleiman Frangieh, last name also spelt Frangié, Franjieh, or Franjiyeh, (15 June 1910 - 23 July 1992, was President of Lebanon from 1970 to 1976.

		Frangieh's grandson, Suleiman Frangieh, Jr is Minister of the Interior in the current Lebanese government.

		In tandem of Syria’s adoption of a tough policy at the Ba’th conference, contrary to the international community’s expectations of flexibility in reforms and openness, the decisions related to reforms fall under refusing foreign pressures.
		The practical interpretation of the changes in the political performance in Lebanon - under the same confrontation headline - calls for strengthening whatever is left of allies; from President Emile Lahoud, MPs Talal Arslan and Suleiman Frangieh, to allied and friendly parties that Damascus prefers to deal with from now on.
		In the course of this confrontation, Damascus’s allies are undertaking a political redeployment, coupled with abandoning previous taboos, such as a coalition with Gen. Michel Aoun, to reconstitute an opposition force on the political level, and to avert the current opposition’s winning two thirds of the Parliament.

		Israel’s goals in 2006 are the same as of 1982: destroy Lebanon’s infrastructure, destroy parts of Beirut, instigate a civil strife, and commit a multitude of massacres as witnessed by flattening residential structures on their inhabitants and intentional targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure.
		In 1974, Lebanon’s President Suleiman Frangieh made a speech at the United Nations in which he stated that Lebanon – a nation of co-existence between various religious communities – can be a model to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict by having both people peacefully co-exist.
		One year later, Lebanon’s so-called “civil war” began and lasted until the end of 1990 with Israel participating through its proxies, or sometimes initiating the violence itself.

		The opposition - led by Jumblatt, Hariri and the leftist Christian writer Samir Frangieh (Suleiman Frangieh’s nephew), as well as the old rightist Maronite chiefs Amin Gemayel and General Michel Aoun - was jeopardising what the Lebanese newspaper publisher Jamil Mroue called ‘a Mafia-style network’ of families around President Lahoud.
		Samir Frangieh, who worked hard for co-operation between Hizballah and the anti-Syrian opposition, said: ‘I told Nasrallah that I don’t care about Shabaa Farms, but I know I cannot build this country without you.’ That is, Shabaa is not worth war against Israel or among the Lebanese.

		I asked myself the same question but when I really doubt that Frangieh carried any bombing recently, he's really not important enough to decide about such an issue.
		Even if it was the same explosive, I'd rather believe that the Syrians are trying to shift the blame on one of their allies.
