    go patriarch go!!! show them politicians how to properly and effectively manage and run the state affairs of lebanon.
    since most politicians in the first place failed miserably in their duties to rule this nation and establish law and order and in order to counterbalance the negative impact of hezballah’s weapons and foreign ideologies on lebanese politics it is essential to hear the widely popular opinions of the new patriarch to set the course straight and reflect the true sentiments of the previously called silent majority in lebanon.
