						<description>Whoever the winner is,8 March Coalition or 14 March Coalition, I believe the real winner is the Lebanese who won&#39;t stay passive but will all take to the constituencies to cast their ballots. Their enthusiasm is unbeated.
لا يهم إذا كان الفائز هو كتلة 14 آذار أم 8 آذار. الفائز الحقيقي هو الشعب اللبناني الذي لا يبقى ساكنا بل يسرع إلى الدوائر الانتخابية. إن حماستهم لا مثيل لها.</description>
