Omar Karami

If history is ever to mention Omar Karami, he would go down as the person who gave political farce a new meaning.


What me worry?

"Anti-Seducers have no self-awareness. They never realize when they are pestering, imposing, talking too much. They lack the subtlety to create the promise of pleasure." Robert Greene, the Art of seduction

In general, the Karami family is seen as an object of pride. Most Tripolitanians respect it because it offered martyrs and Lebanese independence symbols.

This reputation bothered our beloved Omar, so he decided to reverse it: he will be the exact opposite: The anti-martyr and the anti-independence.

The second day after Hariri's assassination, he was photographed with a smile on his face. He became outspoken against the independence movement and seems to have sworn that he won't save any energy creating all sorts of hurdles to the Lebanese people's aspirations: You want elections? You won't have any. A government? Not in a million years. If you can name it, I can sabotage it.

Mind you, he is not without a sense of humor; he likes to create worldwide precedents. After all, this is the man who was overthrown by a huge popular demonstration, only to be re-appointed claiming -with a straight face- a "moral majority".

He doesn't seem to know much what's going on around him: he followed the Syrians when everyone else was worried of the slightest exposure to them.
He takes pleasure in going against the people's will. He's used to it. When he's criticized, he goes into Tantrums: he huffs, he puffs, but unfortunately, he can't blow anything down.

Yesterday, he decided to boycott the election that will "produce a filthy parliament". He decided that he will form a "real opposition" soon so that Lebanon doesn't' fall into the 1559 conspiracy. I tell you guys, this man is an artist.

Dear Mr. Karami, I was kidding about that first paragraph. Don't worry, history will not say any bad thing about you, it will just forget you.

(P.S: I wanted to post this under "Parody", unfortunately, Omar Karami is just too real)
