Voluntarily or not, a majority of the teenagers and young adults in Lebanon during the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990), aka the Lebanese War Generation, participated in armed struggle, directly or indirectly via party support. Very few people remained unaffiliated. Now in their fifties, these teenagers have shaped the Lebanese political landscape and have never had a chance to come to terms with their own involvement in the war. Historical justice theorists and activists have made the case for facing one’s past and contributions to violence in order to “move on.” In Lebanon, ordinary people have not given that opportunity and for good reason: politicians in power after the war were previous warlords, who had granted a general amnesty for crimes during the war so as not to be made accountable. These politicians continue to benefit from the absence of historical justice and the victims are a majority of the Lebanese people who continue to face a corrupt ruling class. Yet, if people on the ground do not face their own complicity, how can they render continued beneficiaries of historical injustices accountable? This paper presents several historical transitional justice models, including the South African and Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, the Forgiveness project, first embodied in Lebanon by Assaad Chaftari, and other digital dialogues projects from Croatia and the USA. Following a description of these models, the paper analyses the metaphors behinds these models and proposes a different one based on artificial conversations generated by an automatic editing machine built by the author. In contrast to the other models, the latter opens up opportunities for challenging the status quo of ignoring the past since its independence.
