it seems we can't tell between mentionning facts like I requested and which u have failed to bring forth in the form of posts written after those mentionned assassinations to prove ur claim, and giving a sentimental irrational statement targeting a live individual as a fact.

Under the original poker metaphor, Dalzi's post took your 'celebration of assassination' and raised it to a 'desire for assassinations to take place'. I think the second is far worse. Surely 'targeting a live individual' is worse than expressing some unpleasant satisfaction that someone has died. The latter is also easier to do. A lot of people who celebrated 9/11 would never have actually hatched the plan.
Dalzi's appalling statement has no place in any attempt to conduct a civilized democracy and no place on a forum which is supposedly a place for debate and discussion. This attempt to justify it is weak. Once the 'target' is actually dead, it's a little late for the anger to fade and then to retract the previously expressed desire for their death.
Unfortunately, this forum occasionally stoops pretty low. The comment about Sanioura and disease on this thread is an example of how low.
As far as the topic of the thread goes, nothing I have read today has suggested that Sanioura plans to exploit presidential powers. I don't think he's so stupid as to think that he can do that. Lebanon is extremely resistant to dictatorial power... and long may it stay that way.
