I wanted to post this on Wednesday but did not get the chance.
It is irony, coincidence and strategy that is so often overlooked in day to day “game play” on the world stage of politics. And it is those three things that we need to step back and admire all the while keep in mind the inevitable humor in the situation.
Why humor you ask, because that’s what we Lebanese do best. We have crappy leaders, a crappy economy, crappy neighbors, and a crappy hand in the world stage, but what we always have are great great jokes.
Never lose that or forget it ya Lubnanyun, for humor is humility and it is what has made us each so individually successful abroad.
So I digress to my original point, I awake Wednesday morning to coincidently find that in the middle of the night before the Arab deadline, magically an agreement was reached. It must have been divine intervention because according to Aoun, the Doha talks would never have happened if it wasn’t for Hezbollah’s mini-war and Hezbollah and their weapons are divine right? ……No jackass…..
Coincidentally that scum of the earth Walid Mouallem so hastily announces his acceptance of the Doha accord with a joint announcement of Israel peace talks and a Golan withdrawal.
So is it coincidence, or is it possible that the Axis of good has won a major battle again the Iranian/Syrian Axis of Crap.
Was it strategy that Saniora made the anti-Hezbollah announcement which provoked them to take the streets unanswered to show their true animalistic side only to get a slap on the wrist from the newly united Druze. Then only to be followed by intense pressure and a summit hosted by Qatar, who is the only true Syrian ally on the world stage.
Good always triumphs, sometimes it takes some time and very tactical maneuvering but what goes around always comes around.
I assure you that we need not use the word coincidence; what we witnessed was a very strategical move to surgically and non-militarily separate Syria from Iran and drag it back into the Arab community like the little rebellious bastard child it is.
Could this mean the beginning of the end of Hezbollah and Hammas, possibly, but what I will tell you is that it is the beginning of a new era for Lebanon.
So I urge you all, khallasna siyyase w za3ama. Learn from the best, learn that politicians are hired by the people to SERVE the people not their own interests. Pick parties who will serve you and unite your nation, not divide you based on religion only.
Mnesta7al aktar bi ktir w fina sa3et li badna nensa 30 years of crap for a bright and prosperous future with a government that serves us. Remember yourself and your needs in 2009 when we all go to vote mech l kharra yalli zafatlkon l tari2.
God bless Lebanon and mabroukin 3al sayfiyye.
