Wow, I honestly cannot believe you just said that! Maybe I misinterpreted, but it sounded like you said that because their freedom is different, it isn't real freedom.

In the 1700's, the Brits tried to sqaush insurgets in some of their colonies. These insergents were against freedom! They had to be, England was the freest nation in the WORLD, the people voted for parlement, unlike in the unfree France, Spain, and Portugal, yes, 10% of the people living in England could vote of hold office, they were by far the freest nation in the world... AND THESE, these rebels, they had to be against freedom!

Comparing Lebanon to North Korea is just bullsh!t. If you look at statistics, standered of living and MOST IMPORTANTLY rights given to citizens, they are free. Lebanon is rare in the middle east, but don't pretend it doesnt' exist.
