Subject: Re: Parti de la Paix Libanaise

Chere Mme Edde,
C'est Emile Issa el-Khoury, le fils de Nayla dont vous aviez fait la connaissance lors d'une exposition a Amchit a la Piazza del Bambino au stand du vin "Domaine des Tourelles". Sinon j'ai lu la charte du Parti de la Paix ; personnellement je suis de pres la situation politico-economique du pays etant un de mes domaines d'interet, et je trouve que nous avons enormement besoin d'action au niveau de la societe libanaise pour redynamiser cette derniere suite a toutes ces annees d'oppression et de vide politique. Les nouveaux partis politiques peuvent jouer un role important en ce sens, j'apprecie donc l'action de M. Edde meme si je ne partage pas tous les principes du nouveau parti. J'apprecie d'autant plus les projets qu'a lances votre mari a Byblos (comme le mythique "Edde Sands" !) qui permettent desormais a des regions eloignees de Beyrouth de creer a nouveau leur systeme economique actif apres que les differentes politiques publiques aient monopolise toute l'economie du Liban dans la seule ville de Beyrouth. Je ne vous cache pas que notre pays a enormement besoin d'entrepreneurs de taille a l'image de Roger Edde pour redonner vie a
la province et a la montagne libanaise a defaut de quoi aucun probleme ne pourra etre resolu serieusement (je pense aussi par exemple a la nouvelle economie naissante a Batroun grace aux boites de nuit qui ont ouvert dans cette region et qui permettent desormais de faire revivre toute la localite petit a petit). Bref il s'agit d'un probleme majeur et force est de constater que seul le volontarisme legendaire des entrepreneurs libanais -dont votre mari fait partie- permet d'ouvrir une issue de secours a la crise socio- economique ambiante !
Etant moi-meme un tres grand fan de "Edde Sands", je me permets de saluer les efforts de Roger Edde dont la vision a permis de redonner espoir a toute une region comme Jbeil...De mon cote j'essaie de m'activer quelque peu aussi dans certains projets a caractere benefique. Je suis par exemple dans une association appelee "Lebanus" qui octroie des bourses scolaires aux enfants libanais defavorises. Par ailleurs, j'ai fonde tout recemment avec des amis une autre association qui s'occupe a promouvoir les sites archeologiques peu connus du Liban. Nous avons appele cette association "ArcheoAct" : chaque annee un site archeologique peu connu au Liban sera selectionne afin de le promouvoir au public et de le reamenager autant que possible (le nettoyer, installer des pancartes d'indication, l'eclairer, etc.). Le premier site que nous avons pris pour notre lancement est un tres beau
temple romain dans les hauteurs de Koura (Rechdebbine, Nord-Liban). Nous organisons deja une journee-decouverte le lundi 1er mai : une visite guidee de la Vallee Sainte de Qannoubine + le site romain de Rechdebbine. Je vous le precise au cas ou vous aimeriez faire partie du groupe... Si le monde de l'archeologie vous interesse et que vous aimeriez meme rejoindre cette nouvelle association, n'hesitez pas a nous faire signe cela nous ferait un honneur. Voila le Liban a besoin d'innombrables efforts aussi bien politiques que civiques, je suis de ceux qui croient que le devoir incombe a chaque individu sans exception de s'activer autant que possible a la "resurrection" de ce coin de paradis ! Tous mes voeux a M. Edde a qui je souhaite bonne chance et surtout bonne continuation et perseverance...
Joyeuses Paques,
Émile ISSA EL-KHOURY

Hi Alice, Roger's is a great initiative. I must admit, given your political conjucture, it's so necessary to have a peace party and, if possible, a peace movement in the country or,in fact, on the whole planet. Peace is often taken as a solution after the wars and battles have been fought, whereas we need to propose it as a principle in itself, as a way of life in full respect of the self and the other. Buddha said Ahimsa... Hope all's well. Love, v

Bravo, Bravissimo pour HIZBALSALAM; Roger a raison. S'il veut agir sur le destin du Liban , il faut que lui et ses amis, tres nombreux, se donnent les moyens c'est adire un outil. C'estmaintenant fait.
2 questions : comment peut-on s'inscrire au Parti ?
que puis-je faire de plus pour vous autrement que d'informer mes amis de cettecréation ?

Alice, I am very interested in Roger newly formed party; just what our country needed.
However, when written with latin letters it looks like: HIZBALLASALAM I guess its too late to change the name now. But frankly its has a negative ( to my taste) hezballah reminder in its name, ringing VERY LOUDLY .. Boy, you guys really have to work hard so that people don't relate it to hizballa (which i dont like !!) Best to u and Roger hope to see you soon

Hi Alice:
A Happy Easter to you!! I imagine Easter is a beautiful celebration in Lebanon. I will have to try that one year. There is some talk of ATFL holding its next Board meeting in Beirut. I will definitely let you know if we do. In the meantime, I took the liberty of forwarding your email to the leadership of Lebanon. I so deeply admire the depth of your love and commitment to Lebanon and your never ending search for ways to advance peace and harmony. I don't think a day passes that I don't dream about having a second home there. With great hope and best wishes,

Dear Alice,
Happy Easter to you and Roger. Please give my congratulations to Roger for the new political party, whose manifesto I read with much interest and approval. That's just what poor, battered Lebanon needs. I look forward to you becoming First Lady. I have a small concern that while the name chosen, Hizbalsalam, sounds very good in Arabic, foreigners, and particularly our fellow Americans, will confuse it with Hizbullah, which is near the top of Washington's doodoolist and always a potential target for US bombing. Warmest best to you both.

First let me thank you for your hospitality during our trip to Beirut. It was fabulous being with you. Second, congratulations to Roger and to you on the new party. What a great and timely concept - or perhaps I should say that the time is really now. I truly believe that we must work together as Christians, Muslims and Jews to make this world safe for our children. It takes a lot of courage to do something that is different and to follow your convictions. Best to both of you.
