Who Backs P.M. Sanioura ?

The Daily Star makes a good point in Today’s editorial: Why is the international community more supportive of PM Sanioura than his own Lebanese allies?

You’re on your own

The Lebanese daily writes:

As the most high-profile leader of the Lebanese state, Siniora himself has been the focus of much of the international community’s praise [..] The problem is that here in Lebanon, Siniora has not been given the same unequivocal backing. Not only has he had to face a serious challenge to his legitimacy from the opposition, but he has also had to contend with divergent voices within his own alliance, the March 14 Forces. Siniora’s ruling coalition includes a wide assortment of factional leaders whose objectives frequently seem at odds with his own, and indeed often contradictory to the basic principles of democracy. As a result of the mixing of so many contradictory platforms and special interests, the March 14 alliance quite often appears rudderless.

Come to think of it.. That’s true.
In Lebanon, there is no unequivocal support for Mr. Sanioura. It seems Mr. Hariri somehow has it in the back of his head that he could eventually be sacrificed in a future compromise. 

Here’s a question: Have you ever seen Saad Hariri come up on TV and say: You mess with Sanioura you mess with me? While the opposition likes to hurl insults at Mr. Seniora all the time, you never hear Hezbollah or Aoun being as venomous with Mr. Hariri himself, do you? Why does Hariri put up with that?
