May 7 if anything constitutes the sharpest challenge since 1990 to the idea of Lebanon as a central and unified state.
What is your opinion on that matter, do you support or oppose it?
Did your feelings about federalism change in one way or another during the past few years?
Thoughts appreciated..

May 7th was
not a challenge to the concept of Lebanon as a central and unified state in terms of sects.
The only way you can discuss may 7th as a premise for new debate on federalism is only on the assumption that may 7th is labelled as
sectarian strife while we all know it was political.
Having said that, there is nothing new to bring to the table in terms of presenting both side of the argument for federalism. Everything is as it was in terms of federalism and sectarian divide, or lack of.
