I never knew before that the ministers number had to be proportional to the number of people(their might a point ofr the MP's not the minsters)...especially given the fact that the lebanese are not the most united and uniform people I have ever seen being for their religious, political or cultural allegiance....

You can run this tiny country with half a dozen good guys. It's a joke. That table is very long, I don't think anything gets accomplished, except stroking each other with pleasantries until the next street fight. No point ranting. This is a country that will always seduce you and will always disappoint you, if you let it. I don't let it any more, I just rant. Other thing I was thinking is, why is the cabinet so large?

What's the point of wearing white? Freaking silly stooges. Whatever happened to the Lebanese adage about "sitting askant but talking straight"???

White suits are not for serious people.
