جنبلاط: أيهما أفضل دعم الجيش وتأليف حكومة أم الرهان على حلول لن تتحق في سوريا

no Jumblat. Disputes are supposed to happen at parliament level, not government. The government is supposed to be homogeneous and productive. When you are sober, review your democracy courses, and hey, put me some of that stuff you are taking on the side...

Parliament is where different opinions are discussed and resolved.
the cabinet is there to tend to people's needs.
however, with the presence of weapons with some parties and a gun on the table, nothing can happen in our country normally.
look at the constitutional council formed of judges: it should not be politicized! judges should never be bias.

How do you want to run the elections without a Government ?

Or you want and trust a one-sided interim "tesrif a3mal" government handle the elections ?

A government aligned with exemplary democracies that are Syria and Iran ? How would you trust the results ? Or would you blindly trust them ?

I for one would never trust M8 members in any electoral process based on historical tampering of individual members. I wouldn't even trust the current interior minister...

So how would you run the elections ? Based on what law.

what a wizz waleed.... a wiseass.

aren't we better off without all those inefficient politicians paid for nothing with lebanese money?

Jumblatt is such a peculiar figure to be in politics. How can he make any sort of a principled agruement about anything, when his actions are not guided by principles, but by expediency and survival. Even if he decided that Lebanon had to disappear so that he could survive in the Mountain, he would be for that proposition, and has supported that proposition from time to time.
The Cedar Revolution seemed to be a turning point for Jumblatt whereby he would end his roaming about and acrobatic politics, but with this new instability in Syria, he has resumed these old habits of the survivalist. He is not Kamal Jumblatt, as he has often said.

The source of Lebanon/s problems is its leaders and its people. The so called leaders have perfected the art of dividing the populace and conquering/dividing the Lebanese pie. Tools used by them are secterian tools, ideology tools, liberation Palestine tools, Zionist ISraeli tools, elections laws etc. etc.
We get busy analyzing their words and cheering their positions while they continue to be busy confiscating our wealth.

@liberty. You have spoken conventional wisdom about Lebanon. Many, maybe 85-90% in the diaspora have come to the same conclusion that you have reached, as well as helicopter in his comment.
The Lebanese are not ready nor do they deserve democracy. Democracy is more than elections. An electorate that demans patronage from its political class should not be surprised, embarrassed, disgusted etc. that they have created a cravenous political class that will do anything to find a money patron and to keep them. This is not how democracy works.

Democracy is about elections, but it is also about holding elected officials accountable; it is about holding elected officials as public servants, not the people as servants of the elected official.
As it is now, the Lebanese political leadership has been made servants of those who provide them with patronage money for redistribution to their political followers. In a sense, the Lebanse are following the worst characteristics of the American political class which does the same thing. The American people have a favorable view of the Congress that rates at 12%, 88% have an unfavorable view. In Lebanon, it is the same. But our demands for our politicians is what drives the political classes that we get. We deserve no better than we demand. So Liberty, you are so correct, the Lebanese are not yet ready to be the boss of their own country and future.

Look at this hypocrite gobelin! once a traitor always a traitor his whole politics stand on following the strongest and thats why he followed Assad for 40years after killing his father! what do u expect of people like this? they only want to rule! and what fusses me is that vermin Joumblat always give lectures and critisizes ohers like here for instance: Jumblat: Aren't We Better Off Forming New Govt. Instead of Waiting for Magical Solution in Syria. As if he was not waiting himself!
