"خلاف جوهري" بين جنبلاط و 14 آذار حول إعادة تسمية ميقاتي ليرأس حكومة جديدة

@zadig, I hear you,and you are right... but there is a Major difference! Embracing the Iranians is more like embracing an ideology. Hariri would be too weak without a strong major power to have his back. Unfortunately, he cannot rely on the west and therefore remains close to ksa. It is very nice to say that we want no external interference (indeed we don't), but what can you do when your political oponent receives instruction, money, weapons, and political support from syria and Iran...

that is the condition that hizballa imposed to change the gvmt,and have a new gvmt of three tens or three eights and perhaps 8,8,12.

exactly, saad hides in saudi, nassrallah hides in tehran. meanwhile, Junblatt is apparantly a sell out because he opted to stay! go figure hypocrites!

@zadig: What would be the point of Saad sacrificing himself? How a dead Hariri would improve the calculus on Lebanon's freedom, and democracy? It won't.
This wave of assassinations has proved one thing; democratic tools cannot be used by one side only. People can't exercise their rights when there is a gun pointed at them. So if Hariri's presence in France, Saudia Arabia will help remove that gun, then that is a much better use of his time than living in hiding in Beirut unable to say what needs to be said in order to preserve his live. Case in point: Jumblat, every time he makes a stand on something he has to flip on it so he is not taken out. At the end of the day the Lebanese people won’t be able to continue to think they can fight terrorism through the ballot boxes alone.
