Consensual PM?
Friday, December 07, 2007
So the opposition as part of the "package deal" want a consensual PM. Aoun stated today that everyone should be treated equally so if the Christians have to agree on a consensual candidate (in this Lebanese sham of a democracy) then Muslims have to also agree on a consensual candidate.
Now what strikes me over here is the amount of rhetoric spewing from the opposition's mouth.
1st, Aoun forgot that the Muslims have two positions. Prime Minister and Speaker of Parliament. He's insisting that the PM should be consensual, but Mr. Aoun what about the Speaker of Parliament? Shouldn't you tell him to step down so we agree on a consensual candidate as well? Or this the kind of hypocrisy and double standards that you want to bring to Lebanon?
2nd, I dare anybody to tell HA that they want a consensual candidate when it comes to electing the new speaker of parliament. Odds are that they will literally tell them to fuck off.
3rd, who gave the Lebanese "leaders" this form of oligarchic rule over Lebanon? How made them princes and kings?
It pisses me off, and it pisses me off even more that the Lebanese people follow them blindly, and what pisses me off even more than that, is the people who are actually convinced with the path that Aoun has been taking. I personally don't mind differing opinions, but looking at his actions politically and in front of a camera, in a country where the people do not form tribal loyalties or "Za'amet" he would be last person on TV.

The so-called 14th of March has agreed that GMS should be elected as president. Not only does this show how weak they are in the face of threat, but also how they are willing to compromise in order to save their own interests.
They fail to realize that it is a time for confrontation in Lebanon and not a time of conciliation. This is a time where start purifying the Lebanese institutions from foreign interference, but why should when our own narrow personal interests are at stake. As long as Lebanon has these kinds of politicians that lack the balls to take any controversial measures, then we will never build a state, because free and sovereign nations do not rise to power through conciliation with their own country's enemies.
Lebanon is quite unique with the passivity of its people that wait for a knight in shining armor and their acceptance to whatever their leaders tell them to. It is where the constitution is amended for one person, and it is where the first signs of authoritarianism are starting to show. Where a candidate asks people why are they afraid of his candidature since they want peace and stability. But what about persona freedom Sleiman? WHAT ABOUT IT ?!
