Ex-FPM MPs meet al-Rahi, discuss ways to ''save the country''
Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab and MPs Ibrahim Kanaan, Alain Aoun and Simon Abi Ramia met Thursday in Diman with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi.

Bou Saab and Aoun have been recently expelled from the Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
while Abi Ramia and Kanaan have resigned from it.

A rift with FPM chief Jebran Bassil was the main reason behind the departures, with the MPs accusing Bassil of monopolizing decisions and the FPM accusing them of violating the Movement's charter and policies.''

''We came to take the patriarch's blessings to know how we can save the country,'' Kanaan said from Diman.''

''Loyalty is for the cause and we're still in our position and have not changed,'' Kanaan added.

Aoun for his part told MTV that ''those who lack loyalty and have betrayed the cause are the ones hurling insults at us.''

''I call on them to pray and meditate because our work is patriotic,'' Aoun added.

Speaking after the meeting, Kanaan said that ''the first required breakthrough is a presidential breakthrough, via a national alliance that we are seeking to create, in order to rescue Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
from the state of chaos and current collapse and rebuild the governing institutions.''

''Our objective is to create a domestic, Christian and national dynamism that would create a breakthrough in the stalemate and we are extending our hands to everyone,'' the MP added.
