“A Spectacular Display of Political Theatre”

Karl reMarks on Nasrallah’s speech:

[Sayyed] Nasrallah is ultimately trying to publicly manage the STL issue rather than address the root political causes that brought it into being. The political disorientation that prevails in Lebanon means that almost everyone is drawn into Nasrallah’s seductive logic, whether they agree with him or not. Instead of addressing the political questions we find ourselves yet again playing the role of CSI investigators, in a very stark display of how vacuous Lebanese politics has become

The biggest problem with March 14 is not their lack of counter arguments. It’s the fact that none of their leaders has a similar stature and charisma to captivate the Lebanese audience in a TV presentation.
