Is Michel Sulayman the greatest president of Lebanon since Fouad Chebab ?

ويل لامة تكثر فيها الطوائف وتخلو من الدين

ويل لامة تستقبل حاكمها بالتطبيل وتودعه بالصفير

لتستقبل اخر بالتطبيل والتزمير

ويل لامة حكماؤها خرس من وقر السنين ورجالها الاشداء

في اقمطة السرير

ويل لامة مقسمة الى اجزاء وكل جزء يحسب نفسه أمة

Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion.

Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting,

and farewells him with hooting,

only to welcome another with trumpeting again.

Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years

and whose strong men are yet in the cradle.

Pity the nation divided into into fragments,

each fragment deeming itself a nation.

-Taken from "The Garden of The Prophet",Gibran Khalil Gibran.

That's the case in Lebanon, if you understood these words , you'll know my answer....The important thing is in the 2nd line.Thanks.

The Lebanese constitution needs to be revised and sectarianism needs to be dropped if we ever hope to get a president of the quality of Chehab. Chehab knew how to handle situations and kept things together. Chehab however had to deal with very different circumstances, and every circumstance has a different set of action that ought to accompany it. We don't know if Chehab would be effective right now if he were president. But as previously mentioned, we cannot compare presidents now with those that came before the Taif.

Our country needs fixing if we ever hope to rise again and with all due respect to Michel Sleiman, it's not going to happen during his reign. He's not to blame though because he's been elected during a fairly awkward time during Lebanon's history.

Well I'm not sure about that to be honest.

He's a good guy but I don't agree with you, the country wouldn't go to complete chaos of he's not the president , well I guess in few years he's not gonna be president any more so will see what will happen then

We can't compare presidents before taeif with president after it.. But after taief president become a nickname more than a real president.. So the person who will be president after taeif should have a strong personality... But this is not the case with sleiman.. Maybe he is a good person... But defenitly the worst president ever :(

Country going to complete chaos and civil war with out? Lol! hmmm I don't agree about that.

I don't see him making any major decisions or changes.

no he is not .... He is just a ''2ijr kirseh'' like others ... I am a deeply sorry but this is the truth ...

because of the ''ta2ef'' the lebanese president have a really minimal role and authority .....

But he is not alone .... Every president will be like that if they don't change the ''ta2ef'' agreement ...

in my honest opinion, even though it was pretty short, bachir gemayel would have been the best president...and that because he took no **** from no body...too bad he didn't live through to fulfill that potential, i guess we would never know...as for president Michel Sleiman, im dont really agree with you, i still dont see any good yet...not saying isee bad things...i still think lebanon is going through the same path and nothing has changed...unfortunately for our country its not the president who rules its the people below him who have the final say

No one person can hold a country together indefinitely & it's not a healthy position for a country to be so reliant on any one individual...

Time will tell what sort of a Presidency he has....

Yes I agree

lol ur kidding, did we ever have a great president? a great politician even?

my answer is No :)

plus presidents after tayef have no real authorities ....
