Good Idea

A Lebanese Majority MP just suggested on a TV program an idea that deserves the attention of the opposition and some debate here:If the opposition is serious about not wanting to benefit from the assassinations, if the opposition wants to prevent future assassinations from happening and if the opposition wants to start building confidence, the simple idea is the following:For every majority MP that is killed, an opposition MP would offer his resignation. This way, the Lebanese people will believe, by action, not words, that the opposition is not secretly encouraging the assassinations.On the other hand, if the opposition refuses this suggestion, we’ll understand where the NBN anchor is coming from.

Scandal: Video of Opposition News Anchor Gloating At The Death Of Walid Eido.

The News anchor didn’t notice she left the mic on: “What took them so long to kill him?” she asked her “hajj” co-worker as they both giggled.According to March14’s website, she also said “I wonder if Ahmad Fatfat is next” and “How many are left before we get rid of the majority?”, but that was not evident from the video.Unfortunately, her schadenfreude is secretely shared by many pro-Syrian opposition members who are all too happy their opponents are being eliminated one by one. Shame on them.Unless Nabih Berri, the owner of the TV station (and supposedly a “moderate” in the March 8 opposition) immediately dismisses her, we will all conclude that his position is the same as hers.** Update **Sawsan Al-Abtah Darwish was Fired According to NBN:
