The Marriam As a Metaphor

(The Marriam)

Looking back at the flotilla fiasco, I can’t help but think of it as a metaphor to how things are done in Lebanon.

Step 1: We like something someone else has done and we decide to do the same.
Step 2: We announce to the world our ambitious plans.
Step 3: We spend ages of haggling among our politicians
Step 4: We realize the project can’t be done so we quitely shelve it
Step 5: We tell everyone we’re still trying.

Apply the above to electricity in Lebanon, gas extraction, internet and connectivity..you get the idea..

We’re been Marriammed over and over again..
