Finally, can Lebanon afford to reject relations with countries for having dirty foreign policy agendas? Would that not mean that all the traditional power-brokers and foreign allies that all the parties in Lebanon are currently in league with (to varying degrees) directly or indirectly should be shunned? |
Ok. We must bring down the baathi regime of Syria. Are you happy now? I think this will answer all your paranoid questions.
