عون: لتأليف حكومة أكثرية ومن لا يريد المشاركة فليخرج منها

I agree with president Aoun that it is not a basic human right for everybody to be part of a government. National unity is just empty words anyway, and a majority government will be more effective in many ways. However, I just wish that if just one party was left out in the cold it would be Hezbollah who will eventually drag us into war, not LF who will contribute towards modernizing Lebanon.

"I as President can’t leave the government. Although, when I was a member of parliament I kept insisting that the president's share in the government is unconstitutional. Which means I should leave the government and then a government can at last be formed."

So Aoun doesn't mean "majority" of the population, which would mean Shias, but "majority" of the minority allowed to form the government. Maybe he wants to restart the civil war, the continuation of politics by other means. That threat has always been the Christian response to threats to Lebanon's "stability".

To paraphrase Nietzsche (who said Christians should act more saved), Lebanon should act more independent. The Special Tribunal for Lebanon is the proud claim of the minority ruling elite that it can't run its own country.
