the roar is right... Yes a different option would be nice but why is it the most popular shiite is the speaker, the sunni approved or most popular, the PM but the president has to be some one without popular street and parliamentary support but "consensual"? Maybe this is the last goal post we must move through so we can move on from Geagea and Aoun and the embarrassment and isolation of the christians since the syrian occupation of Lebanon from 1990?
Why do you support or condone his sectarian stance? He should think 1st about all Lebanon and not his sect! This is whats wrong with Lebanese politics and Jumblatt is the king of this problem and system! He sold his soul to the PLO against the LAF, then to Israel, then syria and saudi arabia, then hezbollah before returning to Dick Cheyney and Condaliza Rice's bitch... Then back to syria and hezbollah before back to KSA and all the time the agent of M16 and never pro Lebanon! The only thing supports this guys existence is the Lebanese republic and he is the master of manipulating it enough so it doesn't collapse but never prospers... any other country... Its called Treachery!
marcus. Berri has huge popular base amongst the shiites. Omar Karami had a strong base in tripoli. Salam was appointed by the mustaqbul movement. Only miqati is an instance of a "consensual" PM. The president should also come from a strong popular and political base!
Article should read... "Arsal once largely supported the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad, but now are in conflict with the Syrian rebels they once harboured and supported with open arms". Just like the Palestinians in the 60s and 70s, now the Syrians!
Honestly phoenix1... the truth is that Lebanon as we knew it is over! the role of christians is now almost so insignificant that the missing position of the President of the Republic means nothing! The increasing emigration of christians from Lebanon is now beyond the demographic breaking point. With the syrian refugees that will end up staying in Lebanon, and the christian emigration, Lebanon as we knew it, is over!
Huthis are yemenis and not just Iranian rebels! Remember that yemen was once split between north and south and the yemeni dramas are not simply irani huthis vs pro saudi government forces!
its much more complicated then that and Lebanese should not get involved (whether Hezbollah or mustaqbul).... Sooner or later we must realise that Lebanon's problems must be solved first amongst Lebanese and everyone else should leave us alone!
humble... turn the other check and he without sin... caste the first stone! all those christian virtues are important if and when you decide to reconcile with Aoun. It is only the right and responsibility of "Syrians" to decide who they want to represent them! As for the Baath Party and their reparations to Lebanon, i agree there needs to be an accounting. But most, if not all current Lebanese leaders have just as much blood on their hands and reparations owed!
don't be a hypocrite with your demands for nepotism, feudalism and pro syrian occupation... your demands to reconcile with the fpm need to be met by every other party that is "pro" "m14"!
coolmec... with our leaders, there is little chance! But why must they be our leaders? Lebanese are nothing but sheep. Sunni and shiite only follow their foreign middle eastern powers... christians are weak idiots... which leaves Lebanon as a sad waste of God's once beautiful land of the cedars!
