حسين خليل من الرابية: هناك أسماء محظورة لرئاسة الحكومة و"الأورثذكسي" في أول جلسة

Asked by reporters about the talks with Aoun, Khalil replied: “We cannot reveal the details of all that was discussed, but we set red lines that should not be crossed.”
correct me if I'm wrong here but does that not sound like HA is the boss and aoun must get permission first before making a move?

Leiko leiko! This means that HA is indirectly supporting the LF on this! Ma32oulé? Ma mbéréh kén Samir néshér 3ardon! Lebanese politics are way too funny at times.

What's the point? (1) Aoun only acts in the interests of the Christians (not the Lebanese, unless of course only Christians are Lebanese... which some of them really believe!)(2) Hizbullah (the name itself is sacrilege is only interested in the Shiite sect and it's version of supressive Islam; (3) Jumblatt only cares for his aloof sect and (4) the Sunnis don't know in what to believe in after Rafiq Hariri was murdered... SO-what's the point? No one is acting in the interests of Lebanon - NO ONE! Alwaylu li-Ummatin kathurat fiha tawaifuha wa kalla fiha al-Din... Gibran knew what our problem is: too much religion and too little faith in Lebanon. Shame on all of them - who cares who wins? Either a Iranian backward party with a Nazi Christian General or a Western backed Puppet? I would always prefer the puppet to the war-machine of the Shite fanatics and the Christian minority complex Auon, but in the end: Adieu Liban, nothing of you is left..

Hezbollah spends its time putting red lines. It is tiring to deal with such people.

I agree with you starsky. We have taken leaps towards a government fearing their people as opposed to people fearing their government. The Middle East isn't quite there yet and we have a long way to go but we, the people, have moved that needle a significant amount with no sign of letting up.

@starsky & @lebanonfirst
Wholeheartedly agree. While Israel is reaping some benefits from the Arab uprising, notably the weakening of the Syro-Iranian axis, it is by and large a byproduct of the the Arab Spring.
Our Arab youths have freed the Genie from the lamp so to speak and there is no going back. In the information age the days of hoarding and hiding information is a thing of the past. Information is power and now it is available to all the people not a select few. This change is irreversible but will take some time to complete.

@ the1phoenix
I think many of us share with you the unspoken fear of jumping from the frying pan into the fire so to speak with regards to being freed from HA, Iran and Syria only to face Sunni extremists be them Salafists or Wahabis.
That fear notwithstanding, Lebanon and the whole Arab world were resting on an unstable Top Dead Center and in desperate need of change. Almost every other country in the world is growing and advancing at a faster pace than Lebanon and the rest of the Arab countries. Something had to give. While Tunisia and Egypt experienced relatively little violence to achieve their change, Syria, because of its multi-ethnicity is facing significant violence as the price for the change.
I am not worried about Israel benefiting in the short term because when the fertile crescent reaches a stable outcome Israel will be but a small potato compared to the Arab nations of this fertile crescent.

I couldnt agree more with you the1phoenix. Does this mean you do in fact agree that Asad staying in power and resuming his status prior to the "Arab Spring" would be the worst option for Syria?
