“a critical and sensitive issue”

P.M Designate Najib Mikati:

[March 14 parties] are leaving President [Michel Sleiman] and me to face the situation alone […] Yes, the way Saad Hariri’s government was overthrown was insulting. I understand the reaction […] weapons are a critical and sensitive issue. We must sit together and discuss [them].

Oh for heaven’s sake get yourself together. What kind of spineless, empty claptrap is this? You seem to understand that Hezbollah is a problem (“face the situation alone”), but incapable of calling a spade a spade or an elephant in the room an elephant in the room: There is no “sitting together and discussing” with bullies. That train has long left the station. What got you into this mess in the first place?
