"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

This is not in defense of the President but in defense of the Constitution, the institution of the Presidency and the Lebanese inter-communal dynamic. The Lebanese Constitution clearly states that the President can only be removed if he has violated the Constitution or committed treason. No evidence of either exists.If the triumphalist parliamentary majority succeeds in deposing the President (whose only “crime” to date was politically opposing late Prime Minister Hariri and not allowing him total carte blanche) and imposing their placeman, then the institution will be weakened to the extent that any Sunni who gets a flat tire will be demanding the President’s resignation for it.
