This does not mean that I currently follow anyother group. I like thousands of christian nowadays (Lost)
Can someone tell me why all the currently pro-syrians back GMA now? It is a tactic by them to fight the anti syrians in Labanon now. |
Yes I agree with you, most of these people are trying to rise again, associating themselves to GMA. But I haven't seen GMA let's say defending Wahab, Kandil...

First of all the pro-syrian you are saying? Let's say GMA allied with Joumblatt would you have said that he made alliances with non pro-syrian. If you were as you are claiming behind FPM for the past 15 years then you would know that ALL of them somehow worked and allied with Syria. So please let's not go into saying this is pro and this is anti-syria.
As for surviving the boycott, GMA didn't really need any of these alliances to survive anything. Remember, he had the people during these elections. Let's look at his election alliances one by one. In Zahle, he allied with Skaff who is considered by the majority of the Christians in Zahle as their leader and they love him. Skaff has always been a good guy and only got a bit close to the Syrian regime during the past 2 years (rustom regime) so again he did a bit of relationships with Syria but compared to others houwe dahha. plus everyone can confirm in Zahle that he is an edame and never stole a penny from the people nor did he make any profit from teh Syrians. Now for the results in Zahle, it is true that the alliance was a success and both GMA and Skaff strengthened each other.
In Metn, GMA allied with Murr. As you and I know, Murr also was one of the ones who were close to the syrian regime and probably benefited from it. However although I believe that Murr has given us a lot of votes, I think that by himself, GMA could have also done a lot in metn, maybe 2 deputees less if any that's it.
For the North, GMA allied with Franjieh. We all know that Franjieh is a friend of the syrian ruling family. I also agree with you that he probably benefited from them, but unlike others he also benefited his region and mainly the christians and actually noon-christians living in it. So i am not saying that he is 100% clean, but at least he gave the people a lot instead of only steeling as all did. Now as you also know the whole list lost, and thus, this alliance didn;t actually give any physical benefit to GMA.

Now by saying of course no means that you still believe taht GMA is a patriot taht would never sell his country or his people.

Again GMA didn't need anyone to survive, he survives through people, through his honesty and integrity.

You know I had some talks with Syrian people. They see in GMA an honest, patriot man. they admit that Syria was totally wrongful in hat it did to lebanon, but then they admit that GMA is a courageous man who knows when to oppose and when to halt the attacks.
So Ahiram tell me, if GMA attacks day and night Syria who is in Syria, wouldn't you find it cowardish? I mean showing his muscles in front of the bear when the bear is dead, not that courageous don;t you agree?
Now if people want to put up his picture in Syria, well I have no problem with that. Do you have any problem with the syrian people? I don't. So to me, a person whose ennemies respect is really something.

I think both are playing a tactical acts towards the other, and when either reaches what he is looking after, he will leave this ally game. I frankly hope that GMA will first reach his goals from this ally and leave them, rather than they reach their goals and LEAVE HIM. |
I can't tell about what HA is planning. However, GMA personally told me that he trusts them and I believe him because GMA is not a fool nor an idiot nor eben mberih, and none of the schemes pass unnoticed to him. Also as a Christian, I really believe that what GMA did with HA is really un bouchon de securite for the country. Can you imagine for a second if GMA stood with the others against HA and declared war on them? Where would we have been? A civil war? Maybe.
Last I want to ask you one thing. You know that GMA even before October 13 got many offers to be a president and a minister and many other important things and he refused. he constantly refused to sell you, Ahiram, for all the benefits he was offered, even in France he got offers and he refused. he fought hard for this country and never lied or cheated on us. Why would you think that after all the sacrifices, he would turn against you and sell you? Do you really think that he would do it?

Finally Ahiram regards to you because just by trying to understand means that you didn't totally give up. And please don't.
