Lebanon is not in danger
Written by Nasser Kandil,
The emphasis on a dangerous situation in a particular country paves the way for many exceptional decisions, which are contradictory to the country’s traditional nature, and incompatible with the principles which it used to adopt, so this allows making what was not acceptable before, to be necessary, owing to the fact that the necessities know no law.
When someone says and insists on saying that Lebanon is in danger, then he paves the way for a specific point that was not allowed to talk about before, except for a systematic forestallment that Lebanon is in danger.
It has been said, that Lebanon is in danger on the eve of the agreement of 17th of May, and it can be said the same in order to commit a similar fault.
The sources of danger in Lebanon are three but their occurrences are not attainable, these are the civil war, the Israeli invasion, and the financial collapse, all of these threats cannot be accomplished in Lebanon, because the most important of which is the presence of a unique capable strong resistance that does not imply a civil war, and it is impossible for any enemy to break its equivalents, so to keep the stable financial situation of Lebanon is an only paper for its opponents to use, in order to avoid getting the majority in the parliament, thus individually controls the rule, Did not this happen in 2009?
The terrorism infests the region; this is true and because it is imminent, so it constitutes a danger towards Lebanon, but the limits of this danger are still under the Lebanese ability to manage the war and to coexist with the results, as long as Lebanon has surpasses the stage of the fear of the success of terrorism in moving it towards the sectarian strife, and thus towards a civil war.
The vacancy in the institutions and especially the presidency is a dangerous matter, but as long as there is no threat of the unity neither on the country nor on the army, and that Christian leaderships which do not made use of the vacancy for the division, then the risk will still under the ability which controls and prevents its turn into an existential or ontological danger, this kind is one of what is promoted for these days.
Lebanon is not in danger, but there was who announced a call to promote this kind of hype, and to provoke attitudes about the presence of this danger and its approaching of them, because there was what is intended for the Lebanese to accept what is unacceptable and what is beyond their principles and what they have used to.
Simply speaking, Lebanon is not in danger, and it will not legislate the presence of Al-Nosrah Front as a public political component, but we have to deal with it, as if Lebanon is in danger.
