Lebanese Reaction Towards The Agreement
After the agreement the opposition barricades were dismantled and so were the opposition protest camps in Martyr's Square. Lebanese across the political spectrum have greeted it with relief and joy.

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or agreement:
“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
