Bloggers Vs. Berri

I guess the first round of online activism was largely symbolic.

We tried to express our displeasure, but it seems a decision has been made to keep our nemesis in power. Compromise sucks, especially when it is just rammed down our throats like that.

It was Hezbollah, not Amal, that imposed him on us. Now that it’s emboldened by the elections in Iran, it’s feeling free to order people about.

Cheers to the “white block”, the M.Ps who decided that, for symbolic reasons, they are going to vote against Berri’s appointment.

It’s also great that Seniora is becoming Prime Minister. A veteran Haririst Number-cruncher is exactly what we need for the role of Prime minister. Some challenges like reforming Social security and finishing privatization are going to be tough, but he has political backing.

But I still think that Lahhoud has to go.
