Aoun: Whoever Sparked Sidon Unrest Should Not Be Allowed to Remain Free
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun demanded on Tuesday that whoever sparked Sunday's unrest in the southern city of Sidon be arrested.
He said after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting: “Whoever created the instability should not be allowed to roam free.”
He made his remarks in reference to Salafist cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir.
The MP added that his demand does not stem from the need for revenge, but the need to control the security situation in the city.
“I lived in Sidon for seven years and I know that its residents are peaceful,” continued Aoun.
An armed clash broke out in Sidon on Sunday between Asir's supporters and those of Hizbullah.
Two of the cleric's companions were killed in the unrest, as well as an Egyptian national, as they were attempting to take down banners they considered offensive.
“Those who spark the unrest and announce the formation of a military wing should not remain free,” emphasized Aoun while referring to claims that Asir is planning on announcing the formation of his own armed group.
The MP added sarcastically: “I could gather some 200 followers and declare the establishment of a military wing.”
Those violating security should be arrested similar to what happened in Beirut, the North, and the Bekaa, he demanded.
Addressing the March 14-led opposition's demand for the formation of a new neutral government, the FPM leader said: “A new government could be formed through dialogue, not surrendering and resignation.”
Moreover, he noted that there is no such thing as neutrality, adding: “Let them name ten neutral figures who can be assigned to the new cabinet.”
“Why should we chose neutral figures? What if they don't respect the wishes of the voters?” Aoun wondered.

if journalists in lebanon have a hair of professional ethics they'd commit mass suicide. From that luni aoun to jumblat the flip-flopper, from liar berri to hariri the coward... they'd cover every fart coming from their mouth. but no worries, their stories stay within the border of lalaland and the history of lebanon will be based on the counts and reports of foreign journalists.

Neutral governement means no mafia politicians and people who are educated enough to tackle our issues :
- Electricians
- Doctors
- Agronomists
- Teachers
- Economists
...
Those are neutral people as long as they are not affiliated to you or march14

Really ? Are you engaged in dialogue ? You and Hezbollah BARK day in and day out and refuse to dialogue about sensitive issues like the Telco network, the hezbollah weapons and so many other subjects !
YOU ARE NOT AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW!

thank you thank you for opening my eyes ya general
i feel so much better now in that illusionary world you created for me
for a second i thought that wahhabis and fsa salafists were going to overun us but now that you transported me to a virtual reality where bashar is king, nasrallah supervising the region from a cloud city and you ya general young and sane, all my fears are gone.
khalas! i'm so happy now i forgot that lebanon is a shity country with no water, electricity, roads... that israel can attack lebanon any minute, that bashar is sending car bombs, that salafis overran moderate sunnis and are ready for civil war... all of this is nothing as long as the general told me the truth about the beautifull planet of gamma centauri.

"...becomes a party that has its own schools, hospitals, telecom network, basically a state within a state."
I assume you are referring to Hezb. But what do you expect when the state is weak and fills a void? The state has historically neglected the South, and Southern residents had to fill the void created by the civil war. And with how incompetent the state is today with its divisive sectarian political system, simply calling for the removal of such "state within state" actions is naive and you are ignoring the source of it.

Be careful, you are putting words in my mouth. I never ever said for each sect to have its own state. I merely explained the circumstances behind Hezb having its own institutions that normally belong to the state.
In fact, I believe the end of the sectarian system would facilitate the disarmament of Hezbollah as citizens won't be loyal to the party representing their sect anymore, and the religious aspect of Hezbollah plays a huge role in garnering support among its followers.

If people are rational human beings, then why would they elect a corrupt leader to represent them? When they cast in their ballot, they truly believe that the politician they are voting for is genuine and represents their interests. Now politicians go on to become corrupt, and yet they keep getting the votes of the people. If people were basing their voting decisions on corruption, then most of these politicians wouldn't be in parliament.
What makes voters keep voting for the same politician is the politician's sect, for that doesn't change. So long as a politician comes from a certain sect, that is the main subject voters care about. That's why you will rarely see a citizen voting for someone outside their sect. Now that gives politicians the incentive to become corrupt, for they know that they can afford to engage in corrupt activities and not pay the price because people will vote for them anyways, so long as their sect remains.

I find it funny now how all of M8 are ok with a national unity government and how they want to sit down and talk about it. Did they not bring down the last national unity government? did they not state that their weapons will not be part of any dialog or discussion? my oh my how the tables have turned. They can actually see their own defeat looming on the horizon.

Anony,
Do you have proof of all that accuse HA of ,
any proof, one reason I respect GCB1 is he always
asks for proof,alchol has been in the south for a long
time,now the bombings,isnt that at all suspicious to you,
If you show me proof to your accusations i will believe you,
if you dont than you are no different than anyone else can claim
false rumors based on biased views,do you honestly believe everything
that goes wrong in lebanon is HA fault, SHN sacrficed his son for your
land in war, can you tell me any leader on march 14 whose son served the
country in war,no matter what that alone is commendable.
13 November 2012, 21:28

ANONY,
So what does March 14 stand for bringing back Israel to Lebanon,
supporting salfi,assir,fatah islam,crooks,saniors 11 billion dollar
theft,spying on fellow lebanese using forgine intervention,saudi,qatar,
turkish rule,former war lords and prisoners dictating to others on how
to be tolerant and follow the rules,murderes telling others how to be civil and patient,leaders that refuse dialoge when the other team is offering dialoge,leaders that live abroad and give orders but attend saudi meetings more than lebanese,save ur BS anonymous,you can fool some of the people some of the time but you cant fool all the people all the time.
