That year showed the Lebanese rejecting the so-called civil war that a corrupt government and 2 occupation forces were using as cover, and adopting a strong national identity. 1989 was the onset of the Lebanese citizenry movement, now a block in parliament and demanding the separation of religion and state, and civil law in Lebanon, the first of the middle east. The spark that started it all, in 1989 is documented in the book by French reporter Daniel Rondeau, “Chroniques d’un Liban rebel”: http://www.amazon.fr/Chronique-du-Liban-rebelle-1988-1990/dp/2246446414
