Would France, Saudi or Qatar allow:
1. An armed militia?
2. Foreign rockets?
3. Uncontrolled borders?
4. Unmarked borders?
5. Shadow communication network?
6. MP candidates of party funded by foreign nation
7. Judicial interference on critical matters
8. Control of only airport
9. Shadow banking, welfare indoctrination centers
>>> IF THEY DON’T ALLOW THEM IN THEIR COUNTRY, WHY SHOULD WE?
However the 2 critical questions remain:
1. Are reforms and growth possible with Hizb arms and its political mafia?
2. Doesn’t election results confirm 2 distinct nations with nothing in common?

Solution to Lebanon crisis must solve 2 issues:
1. Hizbollah Iranian model incompatible with Lebanon’s democracy, open economy, freedom, critical thinking & free media. Not compatible with our culture & traditions.
2. Economic recovery impossible with Hizb arms causing political risks, exodus of Western firms, crippling interest rates, dried investments and mushrooming debt
Solution: separate Hizbollahstan from free Lebanon. Borders already defined from south of Saida to Nabatie & Bekaa. Hizb will have own Iranian-style country, army, border with Syria & mountains to dig military tunnels. Rest of Lebanon with diaspora help will quickly regain its Switzerland role, rediscover democracy and eliminate confessional at all levels. All key to reform & replacing political mafia/zuamas with honest and competent leaders. No position will be assigned to religion, even Shia, Druze or Alawi can become president of Free Lebanon once true democracy and freedom are enshrined in new constitution.

Everyone is aware of Macron's -alleged- bisexuality, which has been a topic of discussion in relation to the Alexandre (formerly Marouan) Benalla affair. Likewise, there are many -alleged- claims that King Mohammed VI of Morocco's is gay, which played a role in Lala Salma's divorce. Additionally, those who watched yesterday's Tucker Carlson on Twitter know that Barack Obama -allegedly- has had a history of bisexual life in the 1990s and and his substance use.
