Lebanon's never-ending "critical crossroads"...


Naharnet, here
"MP Boutros Harb described the period which Lebanon is passing through as critical and dangerous (yawn..) and said that Lebanon is facing crossroads where either the state's regime survives or it collapses together with law and order.
Harb considered that gathering parties in a cabinet without any harmony is not an act of national unity but rather of national conflict given that it congregates contradictions.
Harb was being interviewed by the Voice of Lebanon radio where he said that overlooking the obstacle of appointing elections losers was not merely for the higher interest of Lebanon only but rather for avoiding strife and saving the country.
"The greatest fear lies in the fact that every time we face a problem we try to solve it through a compromise that may not be in conjunction with our political system and Constitution," said Harb, giving examples about "what happened after May 7 incidents and Doha Accord that set rules contradicting with the principles of the democratic regime, among them talking about a share for the president or the opposition joining the government,".
