بري يؤيد جنبلاط بـ"إعادة الاعتبار للبعد الوطني في ملف الرئاسة"

the new generation is worse: they are the flamethrowers, the mowatens, and the mystics, etc.

@nickjames
I agree with your above comment. All I was trying to say is that our Christian leaders are so divided and what makes it worst is that they are corrupt warlords. I think all our leaders are corrupt, and should be arrested and tried for corruption, cronyism. It is time to put new blood in office and put the intelligent and educated to redress the country

I see what you meant now. I thought you were directing the sarcasm at me, I misunderstood you. But yeah the only way Lebanon can get anywhere is if we outlaw Hezbollah and the only way to do that is make an international anti-Hezbollah coalition and drop airstrikes on them

The problem with Hezbollah is that it is armed and serving the Islamic Republic of Iran's interests. They are not only allied to Iran, as is the case with Al Mustaqbal and Saudi Arabia, but they kill on its behalf.
Hezbollah today is more powerful than the Lebanese police and army combined. Furthermore, Hezbollah has as many Lebanese allies and supporters as March 14.
We cannot use force to disarm them. This will result in a new civil war.
The disarmement of Hezbollah is closely linked to regional politics. Meanwhile, we should aim to do the best we can to ensure peace, stability and economic development in our country.

Moreover, we cannot engage in a serious dialogue about constituitonal reforms with a militia that has not intentions of giving up its weapons simply because Hezbollah has proven that it will use its weapons against other Lebanese in order to get their way.
As for the presidency, it has been taken hostage by Michel Aoun, the way Berri took hostage the parliament and the way Hariri took hostage the prime minister's post.
If Aoun was a stable person, it could somehow make sense to give him the presidency, given the sectarian hold on key posts.
And Aoun represents the majority of christian votes.
Yes the Lebanese chrisitian tribe voted for him more than they voted for Geagea or Gemayel. That is the logic and unfortunately the Lebanese voters have proven again and again that they are motivated by fear, hate, sectarianism, racism and money (of course).

"It's funny how we're now in 2015 yet the people leading this country were around in the 1970s."

it may be funny the way you put it, but it's far less funny when you remember to mention that these same leaders have sent countless families to kill each others in their names.

Oh I'm sorry to include the Lebanese Aouniyeh Forces in the 1980s... Did you really just try to exclude the Généwal from the list of corrupt warlords looooool "but nickjames give me one proof Aoun was corrupt"; remember this convo we had??
