Well, dang. I don't quite know what to think of this guy. Since Bush invited him to the WhiteHouse I was hoping that this guy would be a good force for FReedom in Lebanon, but comments like the one above are stupid, imho. Why should the Lebonese STOP their street protests when ProSyrian government leaders are still in office? If you resign, you get to come right back. Heck, I'd be protesting also!
Anyone know anything about this Sfeir guy?
According to Sfeir, demonstrations and opposing demonstrations lead nowhere since the Syrians are already withdrawing from Lebanon.
The Patriarch is advocating for the removal of the Syrian leadership in Lebanon. He has worked diligently over the past few months with other world leaders, seeking their support for this UN resolution. The point is that demonstrations keep people away from their jobs and lead to confrontations on the streets. They have been protesting for one month now. Read more here:
