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. After electing President Michel Suleiman, fireworks erupted all over the country, and festivals were held all over Beirut such as the festivals in the Beirut Central District which was the first large non-political gathering in the district for months with Haifa Wehbe, Ragheb Alama, and Assi Al Hillany performing.

Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or agreement:
“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
“No one can doubt, that the convention for the distinction of property, and for the stability of possession, is of all circumstances the most necessary to the establishment of human society, and that after the agreement for the fixing and observing of this rule, there remains little or nothing to be done towards settling a perfect harmony and concord.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
