there you go, that's the difference between March 8 (lead by Lebanese nationalists) and the old ruling class that opposes them

March 8 finance ministry in Lebanon vows to play by the rules, and leave out favoritism and vindictiveness. When did you ever hear Hariri and company even utter those words! They rule Ottoman style, they oppress the natives, deviate public funds, and when called out for doing that they say "isn't that still better than you having a civil war?". It's all very Moubarak of Egypt, all every ally the US ever had. In order save us from ourselves, which we demonstrated to be unnecessary, they ask in return for the right to pillage us. Well here comes the opposite of the old ruling class, the March 8 government, which works for Lebanon, not threatens it with a civil war while pillaging it.
