The Kind Of People Lebanon Does Like

- Once a Friend -

Moncef Marzouki was treated by Lebanon as a pariah, but he is now the popular President of Tunisia. We also have the exact opposite of this story: A president who was once celebrated by Lebanon but who is now an international criminal.

I’m talking about Laurent Gbagbo, the ex-president of cote-d’ivoire who was shunned by the entire planet for stealing an election, but that Lebanon has rewarded by being one of only two countries to send official envoys to his fake coronation. Only a couple of weeks ago Gbagbo was unceremoniously shipped to the hague to face charges of crimes against humanity.

Honestly guys, we need a better way to choose our friends and enemies.
