Arab League to the Rescue

Amr Moussa's handshakes and smiles at The Grand Serail, Koreitem, Ain El Teenie, and Baabda won't change much with the political gridlock facing Lebanon today. We always resort to involving the Arabs or its league as a last resource, once insults and words have been traded, and nothing else is left to be said or done. Stubborn stances and rude rhetoric eventually tone down, goals and demands gradually drop to a point where we come to ask ourselves was there a purpose for all this in the first place? Once the cold weather, monotonous speeches and boring nights set in, people will eventually realize that nothing is to change. Resumption of the National roundtable talks is the only viable solution to this crisis, take it weeks, months or years. March 14's, Camp Freedom failed in oustering and conquering the presidential seat months back, so too will the March 8's opposition in toppling the Serail. Lahoud is still in Baabda, as Seniora will remain in Beirut. Lahoud's term will end in 2007, and so too will the present government's reign once elections come along. The current protest's point has been made, recorded by the media, to be archived in the long history of Lebanon's struggle to be heard. Enough wave flagging for now on both sides. Lets pick up and move on.
