Who Started?

On the FPM’s website, there’s a strip of text explaining the tayyar’s position vis-a-vis tomorrow’s actions. After all this is over, the Future Movement should reflect well on its content.

Here’s what it says:

They accuse us of rapprochement with Hezbollah, the same people who were allied with them in the parliamentary elections, the same people who formed a government with them. As for us, we are forbidden from allying ourselves with the Future Movement or with Hezbollah and Amal.

Who’s the Machiavelli who decides those “truths”?

If those people understood politics well, things wouldn’t have reached to what they have reached today.

I have two observations on the above:

- This is the second time I sense that Aoun was originally interested in allying himself with the Future Movement. The first time was in a TV show when the FPM’s media coordinator said: “The FPM and the FM have very similar economic agendas, it’s a shame that they’re on different isles.” (remember the famous incident when Hariri went to rabieh and a Smiling Aoun said that the two parties have “99% in common?”)

- I sense a hint of contrition from the FPM. If they say: things wouldn’t have reached what they have reached today. It means they’re to a certain extent sorry about what they’ll “have to do” tomorrow.
