سامي الجميل يدعو الى "لقاء وطني جامع" بعد انتخاب رئيس للجمهورية

One nescessary element for this would be to make. 2-chamber parliament - a chamber based on proportional representation and another with equal number of senators for each religion. Governments based on such a system tend to be the most stable since the meet the needs for majority democracy while at the same time protecting the interests of the smaller groups. If you look at countries like USA and UK you'll see this example. On the other hand countries with just one chamber try to makemupmfor the 2nd one with their cabinets, causing them to have a rediculously large number of ministers and little gets accomplished.

Well said Sami, realizing such a modern and Democratic Lebanon would be wonderful.

Words of wisdom if only people can hear them.

With all respect to Mr. Gemayel, the problem in Lebanon is not the constitution. If the political class followed the constitution to the present political impasse, then the present constitutional for,USA could be called to question.
But the opposite is true. The political class has ignored the constitution, put it on the shelf, and have followed their own political and, for some, family interests, to put the country in the spot in which it finds itself.

To change Lebanon, start with the problem, with the political culture. Start with ending the attitude that politics is about patronage, and therefore about turning public money into private wealth. And when the public money is drained, then seek foreign benefactors as sources of patronage money. The foreign benefactors demand a say in Lebanese public affairs and so Lebanese pResidents are elected in the capitals of the patronage benefactors rather than in Beirut.

When the LF runs out of money and Geagea goes to Saudi Arabia for funding touting his alliance with Hariri, he surrenders some independence to obtain funding and he needs the money to pay off his zilm in order to keep them as party people.
Then there is Aoun, the retired general who is funded from Iran and for the money gives Hezbollah cover as it keeps the Lebanese State and its institutions paralyzed. Aoun is trying to make people believe he is a reformer when he is actually riding with the greatest corruptive political force Lebanon has known, the Hezbollah.

sami is learning fast,b4 75 the kataeb were the main source of strenght for the presidency..army... and the state,are they coming back???????????????

نحو الغد نتطلع وبثقة عالية وحلم على مد النظر وعنفوان يتحد الصخر
رفيقي الرئيس شكراً أعدت لنا الأمل في هذه الأيام السوداء
آلاف الرفاق واللبنانيين يتطلعون اليك بأمل الكبير ويتضرعون ليحميك الرب

Sami is the perfect example why I so much believe in the new generation. I look around the globe and I see the new generations being give the opportunity to lead and this is paying big time. Sadly in Lebanon we seem to stifle their every move, the old generation wants to cling on to everything, one look at people like Berri, Aoun and others will confirm what I'm talking about. The new generation has the courage which the old generation lost ages ago, it has its vision which the old generation doesn't have anymore, let us in Lebanon have that kind of decency and honesty, and let the transition begin in earnest.
