فرنسا تشكو من عدم امتلاك القيادات اللبنانية تصورات للتعاطي مع تطورات سوريا وإيران

Unfortunately very correct!

How many people in Lebanon care what this "French source" thinks?

I don't care what the French think but it's been obvious for 40 years that our people have ZERO leadership nad vision.

The current Lebanese gov't will not do anything, and prevented the former gov't from doing anything at gun point. The world is going to dismantle this axis, first by rolling ASSad and allowing a gov't to come in that by nature will be hostile to the Hezz for what they have done to the protesters there.

France, welcome to our world. Lebanon is bedrift of leadership. The levers of government are in the hands of Hezbollah. The rest of the political parties and their leadership is either feeding itself off of Hezbollah's power (FPM, AMAL, Marada, Mikati, Rai) or is futilely attempting to resist Hezbollah (M14) The government party is out of power and a militia dependent on Syria and loyal to Iran has seized the levers of governmental power such as they are.

Is there any wonder that France has found Lebanon to be in this shape?

Of course this is no excuse. Those out of power, M14 have a duty to themselves, their constituency and to the Nation to be prepared, as a government in exile, not only to resume power, but to have a realistic agenda for action to secure the nation once that is done.
Who leads M14? Hariri who makes his home in Saudi Arabia?
Jumblatt maybe who is more concerned with his tribe than with the nation?
Geagea whom Aounists hate?
Gemayel whose day is over?

The true leaders of the nation have been depleted through a process of attrition by assassination perpetrated by the autocrat who governs Syria and the theocrat that governs Iran.
Musa Sadr was killed at the hands of Gadaffi for the Shia
Rafiq Hariri was killed at the hands of Khamenie for the Sunni
Kamal Jumblatt was killed at the hands of Hafez al Assad, for the Druze
Bashir Gemayel was killed by the Syrians for the Christians
Gebran Tueini was killed by the Syrians for the Christians

The best Lebanon had to offer in terms of leadership are all in their graves, only those not worth killing have been left.

We need in Lebanon a new generation to step forward and to take up the standard left by Sadr, Jumblatt, Hariri, Gemayel and Tueini to again lead the nation.

On the contrary
Lebanese officials have a clear policy that served them for 4000 years.
When winds of change blows they keep their heads down and don't side with any party. After things settle down and a winner emerges, they will applaud the Winner.
I guess the French source didn't understand that the lebanese leaders are in the first stage, awaiting to see who the winner will be

While not wanting to take sides...its ABUNDANTLY clear that the last government was held hostage by the current governing factions. While I think they had good aspirations for lebanon they had their hands tied. Now the other side is in power and appears nothing more than a flakey curtain for the syrian, iranian, hizbollah agenda. What a waste of the Middle Easts most potentially dynamic nation.

what the outside world should know is the de facto situation they put in place here nullefies the capability of any side to make concrete realistic plans....

Mais la France officielle a-t-elle une vision claire de sa politique au Liban? Mis à part les formules récurrentes d'appui à la souveraineté et à l'indépendance, d'égale distance de toutes les parties, etc., formules néanmoins accompagnées d'appuis au "Gouvernement" Mikati, notoirement, intégralement fabriqué et imposé par le Gang Assad? Sans compter le rôle, non négligeable, joué par M. Sarkozy et ses conseillers, dans le retour du Gang Assad au Liban. Sans doute qu'une politique française plus clairement déterminée serait de nature à sortir les Libanais (14 mars) de leur végétativité politique.

Anonymous TX you made me lagh. Its sooooo true. The phoenecians never had a kingdom of thier own as I remember. They just accepted whomever came to rule them as long as they were allowed to sail the world and trade.

1. Sarko is history
2. France is history
3. France is almost bankrupt
4. France was aiding Ben Ali till the last minute. France was not even aware he had fled

who lacks vision?

Lack of vision = getting involved in illegal wars that result in the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent souls = supporting, training and funding groups that will eventually turn around and inflict the most criminal of acts against them = never learning from their own mistakes = having the most unqualified jerks become presidents (Well, in this one, Lebanon is on equal footing with them) = bringing the economies in their own countries to a disastrous level (here, too, Lebanon is equal, thanks to Rafic Syria and Saniora, his rafic)

Now back to the genius, Gabby. My friend, ASSad is still in power one month after he was supposed to have fallen per your predictions a-la-Dr. Falso (like master, like idiot). Can you please explain WHILE you take a break from predicting even more? We want the truth, AND WE DEMAND IT NOW my friend!!!

French resources might have to speak in Persian to get the so called Lebanese majority to understand...
Any volunteers?

That is true, whenever the Phoenicians get fed up with their current invader they would call upon a new one to come in and replace the current one.
Fast forward 4000 years and Lebanese are still doing the same, inviting syrians to kick Palestinians out, then inviting Israelis to kick syrians out, then inviting multinational force to kick Israelis out, then inviting syrians/Iranians to kick multinationals out, etc...
