Just saw a CNN exclusive interview with Rt. General Aoun: he didn't clarify his recent allience with some pro Syrian parties; but he did declare that:
- he has always been anti Syria and always will be,
- all other parties (including Hariri's) have also collaborated with Syria,
- he is available for the presidency,
- he'd disarm Hizbollah,
- strive for a united Lebanese army,
- fight corruption,
- fight sectarianism,
- reform democracy after the Jeffersonian model.
Where there's hope, there's life, as we said in the Polder before this was considered too moralistic (for some reason best known to baby-boomers themselves).
