Every democraic nation, even Iraq, has given the right for its citizens to vote from abroad. I see no reason that there are More Lebanese Christians than Lebanese Muslims in the world to rule out a fundemental Lebanese national right.

Many of the Lebanese expatriates have long lobbied for this cause, I strongly still lobby for it. In France, Canada, and Australia have done a hefty job in doing so, and will only strenghen their will.

Now you are quoting the rag Assafir. Even if aoun declares any support, he’s a fool. He changes his mind constantly and he’s not medically fit!!Anyway offical site of tayyar has not posted it!
As for election law…Don’t you think you are assuming there will be legal institutions in Lebanon? What kind of election; whereas there is a god damned state within a state??? Don’t you think you’re jumping the gun? Before hallucinating and dreaming in technicolour take a look at the current situation!! “democratic” elections happen when the conditions on the ground permit it. Let me ask you if this is fair: 1/3 of Lebanese, the Shia as well as a lot of Lebanese of other faiths live under HA area of “influence” (it’s mini state)….How the hell can people make up their minds FREELY when the gun is aimed to their heads?? Please, enlighten me how? Butros law or any other are irrelevent issues right now! Give the people the freedom of choice; then decide on the law…
Excuse me for ranting! These discussions are…

That’s not true. We have to give credit when credit is due.

Assafir reported yesterday that Aoun has decided to back the Boutros law, so MR. Mkheiber is most likely to be speaking for him. I remember being so impressed yesterday that I was about to write a post in praise of Mr. Aoun
