Is anyone going to ask the people's opinion at some point?
Are we going to keep having stupid Generals that are NOT fit to run a country for Presidents?
Is being the General of the Army now a prerequisite for the chair?
Ridiculous and despicable!

I am sorry, but Bassil is not an option. He is under sanctions.
It is not fit.

Why would the vatican object? It's none of their business to approve or object just like its not the business of a saudi mufti or iranian ayatollah to approve or object.

From Fouad Chehab, to Emile Lahhoud, to Michel Suleiman, to Michel Aoun, ENOUGH! Let the people have their say on who is the next president
No more Aounis for president
No more military men/women for president
No more imposing a president on the Lebanese by foreign powers.
