| | Maronite bishops, who not long ago sent shock waves through the country for openly calling on Syria to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, accusing Damascus of undermining its smaller neighbour's independence, hailed Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad's speech at the Sharm El-Sheikh Arab summit last week. | | | Fares Khashan, a well-informed commentator, argued that the Taif Accord, which ended the Lebanese civil war, was a direct consequence of the first Gulf War, when a US-led international and Arab coalition, which included Syria, ended Iraq's occupation of Kuwait. | | | Agreement among Lebanon's 17 religious sects and parties over ties with Damascus is crucial to cement political stability in light of expectations that any war on Iraq would shake up the political map throughout the region. |

| | United States’ State Department reports indicate that Maronite churches have been subject to random bombings by Sunni extremists, resulting in the death of one person in the fall of 1999 when a bomb exploded in a Maronite church in an eastern Beirut suburb. | | | Since resolved, Lebanon’s fragile peace is dependent on a sectarian governmental structure, where the President is a Maronite Christian, the Prime Minister a Sunni Muslim, and the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies a Shi'a Muslim. | | | While the unilateral 2000 Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon has eased tensions, and the Lebanese presidency remains in Maronite hands, Maronite Christians face an uncertain future regardless of whether Syria ultimately decides to maintain or forego its military presence within Lebanon. |

| | The remark about the tarnished image of the presidency was seen by many media analysts as a signal that the Maronite Church would no longer reject attempts to dethrone the 11th post-independence president of Lebanon. | | | "The investigation has concluded that some of the those who were in charge of the people's security is indeed shameful and humiliating, which made the presidency vulnerable to vast criticism that detracts from the image of respect it is entitled for," a conclave of Maronite bishops said. | | | The Maronite Church has labeled as 'shameful and humiliating' the fact that Lebanon's security commanders have been implicated by international investigators in ex-Premier Hariri's assassination and said the presidency's image has been correspondingly tarnished. |
