2) The point is: Lebanon can't afford the stalemate. You don't pick the least corrupt one, but the one who understands business enough to *not* block the growing adaptation by industry post #RiadPonzi. Others are both corrupt & stupid: like parasites that kill their host. — PolitiTweet.org

3) The Brazilian Paulo Salim Maluf used to say "rouba mas faz": I steal but deliver. Pbm in Lebanon isn't parasites & corruption. It is parasites killing their host! Patronage is worse than corruption. I would settle for a Maluf over both an incompetent but honest technocrat. — PolitiTweet.org
