Moussa's Merry-Go Round

You sit on a round table to talk. Not shy away your looks and peek at the clock, waiting for the bell to ring. In Lebanon there is no bell, we've been waiting for it to ring for three decades. With another presidential postponement, for the 14th or so time, Mr. Berri might just as well keep delaying it beforehand to save us the agony of waiting. So Saad Harriri and Michel Aoun met, for the nth time with nothing in common to smile about. It seems like Amro Moussa has been enjoying his weekly flights in and out of Beirut to a point where utilizing his mediation skills have become of lesser importance than gaining frequent flyer miles.

RK, don't you get it yet? We're trying to set a record for the number of times presidential elections are postponed? it's not at all about politics! Just trying to get into the record books for something other than the largest tabouleh salad ever made!
