As if this was going to make any difference.
Aoun, Mikati, Berri and Nasrallah are ll good for the dumpster. And so is their government.
I do not know these people.
I don't give them the slightest chance of success.
We wanted independent specialists, the creme de la creme in order to give this poor country a chance. After over one year of empty talks and childish gameplay, we got a solution which is an equilibrium between confessions ans political parties. Pointless. These people will never learn. They will never understand. I salute once again Adib and Hariri who refused the post because their hands were tied. Compromise doesn't work in Lebanon. Mikati sold his soul to the devil.
