Jumblat’s “Heaven On Earth”
September 20, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
M.P. Walid Jumblat calls Lebanon “Heaven On Earth” in a bit of sarcasm:
Demands for improving living conditions have been overwhelmingly fulfilled, as we no longer witness power rationing, water, and electricity cuts as dams have been constructed to quench the thirst of villages, Lebanese products have invaded foreign markets … and the public debt has been closed”
He forgot to add: “politicians became honest, principled people who are consistent with themselves and their pasts”
