Dear Editor: There are major concerns about the cost of universal health care.

.- It was the end of March when the violence in Syria became unbearable for Salwa, a young mother who lived in the besieged city of Homs with her husband and four children.
After more than a year of almost daily bloodshed, she and her family left behind everything they owned, and fled Syria with nothing more than the clothes they were wearing.
They crossed the border into neighboring Jordan, where they finally found safety in the town of Mafraq. There, with the help of Catholic Relief Services, Caritas Jordan is helping families like Salwa’s get through the crisis.
Salwa told Caritas Jordan volunteers that she’s grateful her family is safe, but that her children are still fearful. “Whenever they hear fireworks—often part of local wedding celebrations in Jordan—they fear that the violence has followed them from their home in Syria to Jordan.”

The Syrian crisis has become the latest test of Russia’s relations with the West. Moscow’s support for the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad and its readiness to aggravate the West in pursuit of that policy has surprised Western politicians and observers, especially in light of the initial "conciliatory" position that Russia took toward […]
رأى البطريرك الماروني مار بشاره بطرس الراعي "ان على الشعب اللبناني مسؤولية المحافظة على قيمه، وهو قد سئم الخلافات والنزاعات ولا يريد الحرب ولا القتال"، مشيرا الى "ان لغة العالم العربي حاليا هي لغة الحرب والسلاح والدمار والبغض وعلى اللبنانيين نشر لغة الشركة والمحبة رافضا رفضا باتا تسمية اي لبناني بأنه عدو لي".

The past 16 months have been a real nail-biter for Lebanon’s banking sector. Since the US Treasury accused the Lebanese Canadian Bank (LCB) of laundering drug money for Hezbollah last February, local banks’ images have taken a beating in the international press, and Beirut’s ties to sanctioned regimes in Damascus and Tehran have been […]
"مهما حصل من انتكاسات في بعض الأماكن، علينا كلبنانيين ان نتشارك جميعنا في التهدئة وايجاد الحلول لأي قضية خصوصا ان في لبنان لا احد يريد تغيير النظام السياسي لأن السقف السياسي موجود وهو اتفاق الطائف الذي يعطي كل ذي حق حقه". وتطرق سليمان الى موضوع الاغتيالات، معتبرا ان "عدم اعطاء الداتا تحول الى […]
