Lebanese politics is becoming more complicated to understand and by now, even the Lebanese themselves are finding it so challenging to grasp.
Lebanon is now being torn apart between two groups:
- First group wants to create a Lebanon that rhymes with the American neoconservatives’ vision for the New Middle East.
- Second group intends to fight the neocons plans.
Each has his own point of view that makes some sense. For example, a president that takes his orders from the Embassy of USA in Lebanon will definitely make Lebanon the 52nd state of USA (as Kuwait is already the 51st state.) This will for sure invite Microsoft, Google, Cisco and the rest of the IT giants to invest heavily in Lebanon. As a result, Lebanon will enjoy financial prosperity and soon he will become once more the “Casino of the Middle East.” Imagine this, the den of the giants and the brothel of the kings!
But, this comes at a price; we will become a puppet of the neocons like many other countries that preceded us, KSA, Egypt, Jordan,… to name a few.
The second group prefers to take Iran and Syria as their alleys in order not to submit to the will of the neoconservatives; they state that they are working for a free Lebanon. They want a Lebanon that doesn’t take orders from foreign embassies; at least not from the embassy of USA and the future embassy of the Zionist state (aka Israel).
Hence, we are stuck today with a country without a president. I am still trying to get in touch with my feelings to tell you honestly how it feels to live in a “presidentless” country. :P

Presidentless indeed. I wonder how it feels for you guys back in Lebanon. I asked my mother and some friends how it felt and they all thought it felt the same as with a president. Makes any sense?
@ Biro:
The crowd is always stupid and would cheer for any son of leader. We learn everything except how to think on our own!
@ Niki-chan:
Well, it doesn't matter if we have a president or a king or emperor... Either way, he will be influenced by neighboring countries: Israel and Syria. :(
Many countries keeps conspiring against the unity of the Lebanese people to keep us weak.
@ Poshlemon:
Even if the parliament and the government went home, nothing will differ. What really matters are the foreign embassies. :P
